Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, authoritative details regarding bullion mandates, corporate diagnostics, and project partnerships.

RDB Management Consulting operates as an accredited Bullion Mandate holding a verified corporate account with Gerrards Precious Metals Ltd, an LBMA Registered Refinery situated in Central London. We receive and vet genuine offers of gold dore bars and investment bullion, enforcing rigorous due diligence and direct Mandate-to-Mandate negotiation while strictly avoiding unverified intermediary chains.
Ledger-to-Ledger (L2L) transactions execute book transfers within tier-1 institutions (HSBC London, UBS Zurich, Dubai, or Hong Kong). They require no physical transportation and no complex financial derivative instruments (such as SBLC or Bank Guarantees). Settlement is achieved via bilateral Mandate alignment, bank officer exchange of Proof of Product (POP) and Proof of Funds (POF), followed by immediate title transfer under standard 12/9 discount structures.
Sellers must supply verifiable chain-of-custody documentation, export and assay certifications, proof of unencumbered ownership, and proof of capability to deliver to London vaults or pre-approved facilities with TCCC Metals Trading Limited in Lusaka, Zambia. We require direct interaction with Seller Mandates or signatories with power of attorney.
Every prospective corporate client or commodity partner receives a complimentary, no-obligation initial assessment with Raymond Blair (£0 preliminary fee). We examine your organizational obstacles, discuss pivot strategies, workflow bottlenecks, or review your bullion intake parameters with absolute confidentiality.
Our active clean energy pipeline requires parcels between 25 and 79 acres across England, Scotland, or Wales. Parcels should ideally possess proximity to viable National Grid sub-stations, clear topography, and suitable road access for logistical delivery.
