Thinking about smaller gold IRA investments - what's good out there?

• •My own portfolio is pretty decent, hovering between $500k and $1M, and I’ve got a good chunk in my Gold IRA already.
• •My own experience was with a larger company that had higher minimums, which worked fine for me at the time.
• •But I'm not sure they'd be the best fit for someone just dipping their toes in.

Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter lately on here about large-scale gold IRA investments, and I'm curious if anyone has some solid recommendations for those of us on the smaller side. My own portfolio is pretty decent, hovering between $500k and $1M, and I’ve got a good chunk in my Gold IRA already. I own a logistics company here in Memphis, and I'm actually in the middle of planning out my succession, which means I'm looking to diversify even more for the next chapter. But I’m thinking specifically about my kids or younger relatives who are just starting out and have less to invest – maybe $25k to $50k to get their feet wet in the gold market.

My own experience was with a larger company that had higher minimums, which worked fine for me at the time. But I'm not sure they'd be the best fit for someone just dipping their toes in. Are there any companies you guys have used or heard good things about that are particularly good for these "smaller" investors? I'm talking about decent customer service, reasonable fees for the account size, and not making them feel like chump change because they're not dropping six figures immediately.

I'm trying to help them build a solid foundation, especially given all the economic weirdness we’ve been seeing. I really want them to understand the value of tangible assets. I’ve even been looking into some planning tools like that Retirement Planner on Gold IRA Blueprint to show them how integrating gold early can impact their long-term security. It's a pretty neat tool for seeing the big picture.

Any thoughts or personal anecdotes would be super helpful. What companies impressed you with their handling of smaller accounts, or what red flags should we watch out for? Thanks in advance everyone, appreciate the collective wisdom here.
