Rate card
Fees for representation, appraisal, and stewardship. Every figure below is subject to the rate card in force when an engagement is signed.
We publish fees because clients should be able to judge whether a conversation is worth having before they have it. Nothing on this page is an offer, and nothing here creates an engagement. An engagement exists when a written scope is signed by both the client and Domantria LLC. Where a matter falls outside the categories below, we will quote it separately in writing before any work begins.
Two principles sit behind the numbers. First, fees are for work performed, not for outcomes promised. We do not promise that a name will be acquired, that a sale will occur, or that a particular price will be achieved, because we do not control the counterparty. Second, our compensation does not depend on pushing a transaction either way. Where a success element applies, it is described plainly and applies only to a completed, settled transaction.
Representation
| Service | Basis | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer representation | Fixed engagement element plus success element | Sourcing, research, outreach, negotiation, and settlement coordination for an acquirer. Success element applies only on a completed change of control. |
| Seller representation | Fixed engagement element plus success element | Positioning, qualified buyer outreach, negotiation, and settlement coordination for a holder. Success element applies only on a completed, funded sale. |
| Quiet Ownership administration | Annual administration element per name | Holding, renewal, monitoring, and documented instruction handling while a name is held under the arrangement. |
| Settlement coordination | Fixed per transaction | Escrow engagement, release conditions, transfer sequencing, and confirmation. Does not include escrow provider charges or registrar costs. |
| Targeted approach | Fixed per name | A single researched, written approach to a holder on the client's instruction, with the reply reported back. |
The fixed engagement element covers the research and setup work any serious file requires, which is the same amount of effort whether the counterparty says yes or no. The success element is calibrated to the transaction so that our interest tracks the client's. Where a client prefers a structure with no success element, we will quote a higher fixed figure instead, and the client can choose.
Appraisal and advisory
| Service | Basis | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Single name appraisal note | Fixed per note | 5 to 8 business days |
| Portfolio appraisal review | Fixed per portfolio of up to ten names | 10 to 15 business days |
| Pre-mandate read | Fixed, credited against a resulting engagement | 3 to 5 business days |
| Written opinion on a live offer | Fixed per opinion | 2 to 4 business days |
| Stewardship for owned names | Annual per name, tiered by count | Ongoing monthly cadence |
Appraisal work is available on its own, without representation. A client who commissions a note and then decides to do nothing further owes only the note fee. Where a pre-mandate read leads directly to a signed engagement within sixty days, the read fee is credited against the engagement element.
What is not included
- Escrow provider charges, which that provider sets and which the parties allocate by agreement.
- Registrar of record transfer costs, renewal costs, and any registrar membership charges.
- Legal, tax, or accounting work, which the client obtains from their own advisers.
- Dispute resolution or trademark proceedings, which are outside the scope of any engagement with this desk.
- Travel, where a client specifically requests attendance at a meeting, quoted in advance and at cost.
Nothing on this page is a payment facility. We do not collect card details on this website, and no transaction is processed here. Fees are invoiced to the client under the signed engagement and settled by the method stated on the invoice.
