Avoiding a lawsuit is oftentimes at the top of most business owner’s priority list. Being sued can be devastating for a business, especially for smaller businesses and startups. Also, as businesses become bigger and more successful, they become bigger targets for
lawsuits. It is because of this that many business owners will hire a skilled litigation atto
ey who can help them should the find themselves being served with a subpoena.
Here are ways that businesses in the precious metals retail industry can avoid being pulled into an expensive lawsuit:
1. Always run a tight ship. By keeping meticulous records of all transactions, gold and silver dealers can easily present evidence of all sales and purchases should they ever be accused of unscrupulous business.
2. Be transparent. Never lie about the costs involved by doing business with you. Many lawsuits involve plaintiffs who have been told one thing and then received something else, usually at their expense. Clear and concise information involving pricing, terms and conditions, return policies, and privacy policies can often benefit gold and silver dealers when faced with a lawsuit.
3. Offer great customer service. By adopting a business model that involves going above and beyond for your customers, your precious metals business can establish a level of trust that makes for a great reputation based on honesty and integrity.
4. Always follow all local, state, and federal laws. The easiest way for a business to find themselves as a defendant in a lawsuit is to ignore, or purposefully violate, various local, state, federal laws pertaining to equal employment and anti-discrimination policy. In order to avoid a lawsuit, always adhere to all local, state, and federal laws when it comes to equal opportunity in the workplace.
While this list is not all inclusive when it comes to avoiding a lawsuit, it would benefit any business in the precious metals industry to retain a good business atto
ey.

With so many online gold and precious metal dealers these days, it can sometimes be difficult to choose the best gold dealer for you needs when you may not know what to look for. At First Fidelity Reserve, we only allow a select few gold bullion coins to enter our inventory. For example, the United States makes hundreds of thousands of 1/10 oz Gold American Eagles each year, but many of them do not hold up to our exacting specifications and standards. Our expert numismatic consultant, Mike Fuljenz, and his team of bullion experts take the time to make sure you only receive gold bullion coins of superior quality.
Gold Bullion Coins For Your Gold IRA
We’ve all heard the phrase, “don’t put all your eggs into one basket,” right? The same can be said about your investments. By investing in gold and other precious metals, you will be able to hedge your investments against inflation and uncertain markets. According to the Mike Fuljenz, Gold Guide investment advisors say that a rational component of gold - depending on your age, risk profile, and income needs - would be 5% to 25% of your total portfolio. With this figure in mind, First Fidelity Reserve recommends IRA eligible gold bullion coins that have high numismatic value for our clients to invest in. Not only do these coins retain value due to their weight in gold, they offer investors “double pay” because of their “low mintage.” As a premier online gold dealer, we recommend starting with the following coins to build a diverse investment portfolio: • 1 oz Gold American Eagles ($25 Gold American Eagles offer the best “double pay”) • ½ oz Gold American Eagles • ¼ oz Gold American Eagles • 1/10 oz Gold American Eagles
All precious metals investors should consider American Gold Eagles when investing in tangible assets for their precious metals IRA. Gold American Eagles are considered to be the #1 investment coin throughout the world. Another thing to consider are shipping costs. With other online precious metals companies, the more gold you buy, the more money you’ll end up paying in shipping - Not with First Fidelity Reserve, however. When you spend $99 or more with First Fidelity Reserve, your shipping is free.
