BUSINESS JOURNEY
From Melbourne beginnings to a national precious-metals business
Michael’s business journey began more than 15 years ago with Cash for Old Gold, initially operating as a mail-in gold-buying business from his parents’ home in Melbourne. From those beginnings, the business expanded into physical retail, interstate operations and eventually the national network that became Australian Gold Capital.
