Domain Partners view domain names as potential businesses and their owners as potential partners. Over the years we have seen top shelf domains become great online businesses with business models that create long term value for the owners. We believe inherently that: 1. Really good domains can be turned into businesses with the right management, technical skills and direction. 2. Success should be shared with domain owners. 3. Owners of top shelf domains can realise a premium on what you may otherwise be offered for your domain. Our process Once a contract is in place, our transparent process includes quarterly "work in progress" meetings which outline profit and loss, launch deadlines and project tracking, review of estimates & competitive insights. Annually a thorough audited financial report and review is produced. For more information on our accounting processes, approach to negotiation and/or information on the process from heads of agreement to contracts, please contact us. A typical timeline We aim to have our websites live within 8 weeks of finalising a co-authored strategy. We always seek a domain owner's input into the business model. Our experience on-boarding different websites means we test, learn and refine our sites over time whilst improving the underlying technology. The skill set of our technical team ensures that high standards of software development, web design and search engine optimisation are deployed from the outset. Financial process As a business we simultaneously review and revise cashflow and profit and loss statements, key ratios, traffic estimates, cost projections and achievement of objectives. Domain Partners employs internal accountants to ensure that our partners get full transparency. |
