The Opportunity

Every town has gold — and almost nowhere to test it. Our proven XRF testing model gives customers instant, non-destructive analysis of their jewellery and precious metals, with a certified label and digital certificate produced in minutes. It is a genuinely high-margin service: each certificate costs less than one euro to produce, takes only a few minutes, and commands a fee of €25 / £25.

Everything You Need, Included

Laboratory-Grade XRF Analyser

A brand-new XRF gun and professional stand — the heart of the business. Delivered within approximately six weeks of signing.
