Domain Financing
Domain financing allows buyers to acquire a domain name through installment payments rather than a single lump sum, making high-value acquisitions accessible without large upfront capital. Some marketplaces (Sedo, Dan.com) and brokers offer structured payment plans. During the financing period, the domain may remain in escrow or with the seller; ownership transfers fully upon final payment. Interest rates, payment schedules, and default terms vary significantly by provider.
Example
A startup acquires 'betapay.io' for $12,000 via a 12-month financing plan at $1,100/month, gaining immediate use of the domain while spreading the cost.
