Leasing

Use the name. Keep your capital.

We lease our names rather than sell them. You get the exact address your customers search for, on a term that suits your plans, without paying a premium upfront.

Choose a name

Three routes

Choose how you want to work with us.

Lease

Take a name for a fixed term from a few pounds a day, with a free 10 page website and an AI assistant included. The rate is shown on every name page, and the term and structure are agreed individually.

Joint venture

We build and run an AI-powered site on the name together with you and share the result. This suits businesses that want the name and the build without a large upfront cost.

Build and manage

We build the platform on the name and run it on your behalf, including content, AI agents and maintenance, so that you can focus on customers.

Why lease

Leasing is how most businesses already pay for what they use.

Shops and offices

Most businesses rent their shop or office rather than buy it. Premises carry rent, business rates, service charges and a fit-out, and the bill is usually far larger than the cost of a domain name. A name at £16.44 a day comes to about £500 a month, with a free 10 page website and an AI assistant included. It is the address your customers type, working for you all day, without taking on a building.

Vehicles and equipment

Vans, cars, computers and other equipment are very often leased rather than bought. The reasons are the same each time: no large sum paid upfront, a fixed payment you can plan around, and the freedom to move on when your needs change. A leased domain name works the same way. You use a valuable asset without tying up your capital.

Why leasing appeals

The first attraction is simple. Leasing reduces your capital outlay. Buying a premium name can mean a large payment before it has earned anything. Leasing spreads the cost across the term, keeps your cash free for the build and for marketing, and lets you see the return before you commit further. You can read more about what a good name is worth in why domain names matter.

The second is tax. In the UK, rent or lease payments that a business makes wholly and exclusively for its trade are generally an allowable business expense, which means they reduce the profit the business pays tax on. That is what people mean when they say leasing is tax deductible. Three points keep that accurate.

Deductible does not mean free. A deduction saves tax at your own rate, so it lowers the real cost of the lease, but it does not remove it. It is also not a full deduction in every case. For example, HMRC disallows 15 per cent of the hire cost when a business leases a car with CO2 emissions above 50g/km, and the treatment differs for finance leases and hire purchase, where the asset is handled more like a purchase. The rules also differ between sole traders and companies, and for VAT.

A lease payment for a domain name that you use in your business is a rental payment, and it is 100% tax deductible. The car restriction does not apply to it. Our reference for the vehicle rule is the HMRC Business Income Manual on car hire restrictions.

The process

From first message to launch.

01
Tell us the name
Send an enquiry from any name page, or use the contact form with the names you have in mind.
02
Agree the terms
We confirm the route, the term and the daily rate in writing. There is no obligation until both sides have agreed.
03
Build and launch
The name is pointed at your site, or we build the site with you. Regulated sectors need the right authorisation before launch.

Common questions

Are the names for sale?

Our preference is to lease, which keeps the name in the portfolio and lets many businesses benefit over time. If you want to talk about another structure, contact us.

What do the daily rates mean?

Each name page shows the rate by the day, and every lease includes a free 10 page website and an AI assistant. It is a starting point for a conversation, and the final rate depends on the term and structure. See the portfolio for every rate.

Is a domain lease tax deductible?

Yes. A lease payment for a domain you use in your business is a rental payment, and it is 100% tax deductible. It reduces your taxable profit by the full amount you pay. The worked figures are on our page about domain name leases and UK tax.

Can I take more than one name?

Yes. Names in the same sector can share one platform, and many exist on both the .co.uk and .uk registries.

Do you check that I am authorised to operate in a regulated sector?

Names for credit, mortgages, insurance, pensions, health, legal and gambling services need the right authorisation from the operator before a site goes live. Each of those name pages says so.
