We've Got This!
Don’t be overwhelmed with the domain acquisition process we’ve done this MANY times. As an experienced boutique domain brokerage firm, let us guide you through every step from deciding on the perfect name to transferring the domain to your account after a successful negotiation. To help you understand a little more about our process see the steps below as you prepare for the greatest investment of your life!
1) Get To Know Meeting
Our typical domain acquisition relationship starts with our free consultation to get to know each other, understand your company (Where You’ve Been, Where You Are, and Where You’re Going), and discuss how our firm can help you in your dream to own your brand. During this talk you will hear about our extensive experience in the industry and hear examples of successful acquisitions we’ve been a part of. We will also discuss where you stand in your acquisition process as this could be that you are weighing your options or have a specific domain you want to acquire and need assistance.
2) Determine A Budget
Setting a budget is the most important part of the domain acquisition process. It not only helps determine what your possibilities are, but also sets guardrails during the negotiation process. As with other assets, the price of a domain will be determined by the rarity of the name. As a good rule of thumb, the shorter the domain or more widely its used in everyday conversation, the more value the domain carries. This means while some domains may be worth thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, the most premium domains can be hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
3) Assess The Options
Many companies and individuals come to us with the domain they are looking for already selected. However, based on budget constraints, their perfect domain may be just out of reach. This is where we thrive! Our experience has shown us that there is a perfect domain out there for every business. By analyzing your business and understanding the key words that represent your brand we help brainstorm a list of potential domains that are within your budget and are perfect for your brand.
4) Who Has The Domain and Are They Willing To Sell
This step can sometimes be the hardest step of them all. With a majority of domains register today under a registration privacy lock, It can sometimes be a difficult task identifying who owns the domain and getting in contact with them. Our detective work will usually identify who owns the domain, but if the domain is for sale or the asking price can sometimes be a very difficult process.
5) Negotiate The Deal
Once the domain owner is identified and they are willing to sell the domain name, we start the negotiation phase of the acquisition. While some negotiations can be quick, we always say patience is a virtue in the negotiation process. We’ll negotiate everything from the purchase price to the fees, terms and how/where the closing will occur. With our expert negotiation skills, and years of negotiating experience, we’ve seen it all and will get you the best deal possible.
6) Close And Transfer The Domain
After a deal has been made where both parties are in agreement with the purchase terms, the last step is consummating the deal and ensuring a seamless transfer of the domain. We usually suggest using Escrow.com to handle all transfers as they are an easy to use 3rd party escrow provider. We will walk you through the process and ensure you’re able to use the domain as quickly and easily as possible. Now contact us today to help you buy your perfect domain.
