Questions, answered.
Buying, selling, and financing digital assets—from domains and social accounts to websites and online businesses.
Digital assets
What kinds of digital assets do you work with?
We work with domain names, social accounts and handles, and websites, including established online businesses. Each opportunity is reviewed individually, with attention to ownership, commercial value, and whether the asset can be transferred.
Buying
Can you help me buy an asset that isn’t listed?
Yes. Tell us what you’re looking for and your budget. We can approach the owner, find out whether they’re open to selling, and negotiate on your behalf if they are.
How do I make an offer?
Contact us with the asset name or URL, your proposed price, and any terms that matter to you. For a listed domain, you can use the offer form on its landing page. We’ll review the inquiry and discuss next steps with you.
How are prices and offers handled?
The owner decides whether to accept, counter, or decline an offer. Where a minimum offer applies, it is the starting point for a conversation, not an agreed sale price. The final agreement covers both the price and the terms of the purchase.
What’s included in a purchase?
We help define exactly what is being sold before you commit. A website sale might include its domain, content, code, and other agreed assets. An account transaction may involve a handle, content, or control of the account, subject to platform rules. Nothing is included automatically: the agreement sets out what transfers and what stays with the seller.
What should I review before buying?
The details depend on the asset. For a website, review traffic sources, revenue, running costs, and ownership of the content and code. For a social account, look at audience quality, engagement, account history, and transfer permissions. For a domain, review ownership and past use. We help identify the information needed to evaluate the opportunity.
Selling & listing
How do I submit an asset?
For domains and social accounts, start with List your assets and choose Domains or Digital accounts. Add the asset details, then create a LeadNames account or log in to manage your submission. For a website or online business, contact us with its URL and a brief overview. We review submissions before deciding how we can help; submitting an asset does not automatically create a public listing.
What’s the difference between a listing and brokerage?
A listing presents an asset to interested buyers. Active brokerage adds buyer research, outreach, and negotiation. Our public listings currently focus on domains; websites and digital accounts are reviewed individually. We agree on the work and who to approach before contacting potential buyers.
How do you help me set a price?
We consider the asset, potential buyers, relevant completed sales, and your goals. For a website, traffic, revenue, costs, and growth may matter. For a social account, we look at the audience, engagement, and account history. For a domain, the name and extension help shape the discussion. We use that context to discuss an asking price; an estimate is not a guaranteed sale price.
Do I have to accept an offer?
No. We help you weigh the price, terms, and timing. You decide whether to accept, counter, or decline.
Websites & accounts
Can I sell a website with an established business?
Yes. Share the website, what the business does, and an overview of its traffic, revenue, costs, and the assets you want to sell. We’ll discuss whether it is a fit and what information a buyer would need. The scope of the sale and the handover are agreed before proceeding.
Can I submit a social media account or handle?
Yes. Choose Digital accounts and include the platform, handle or username, profile link, and relevant details. You must own the account or have permission to submit it. Submitting it starts a review; it does not automatically create a public listing.
Can every account or handle be transferred?
No. Platforms set their own rules, and some restrict or prohibit sales and transfers. We review the proposed transaction and any required permissions before deciding whether we can help.
Financing
Can I borrow against a digital asset?
We can review your asset and funding needs and discuss potential financing options. Availability and terms depend on the asset, your circumstances, and the lender. A financing inquiry starts a conversation; it is not a loan approval.
What do you need to review a financing inquiry?
Tell us what you own, how much you want to borrow, what the funds are for, and how you plan to repay. Before proceeding, we’ll discuss the lender, our role, fees, repayment terms, and who controls the asset during the loan.
Working together
What does it cost to work with LeadNames?
Fees depend on the asset and the work involved. We agree in writing on the scope, how our fee is calculated, and when it’s due. We also clarify any escrow, payment, or transfer costs and who pays them.
Who does LeadNames represent?
We work with buyers and independent asset owners, and we also offer assets we own. We’ll explain who owns the asset, who we represent, and our role before work begins.
How do payment and transfer work?
We help agree on the payment process, what will be handed over, and how the buyer will confirm receipt. A website handover may include files, content, and hosting access; an account transfer depends on the platform’s rules and permissions; a domain moves through the registrar. If escrow is used, the provider holds and releases funds under the agreed terms.
How long does a transaction take?
Timing depends on the parties, negotiations, payment checks, and transfer requirements. We’ll discuss the likely schedule and keep you informed as the transaction progresses.
