Two structures. One escrow. No surprises at the end of the term.
LeaseToOwn.com exists so that a serious name is a monthly line item rather than a seven-figure decision made in one afternoon.
Lease to own
The agreed amount is divided into equal monthly payments across a term you choose, between 12 and 60 months. A 10% annual premium is applied for each 12-month increment beyond the first year — 24 months carries 10%, 36 months 20%, 48 months 30% and 60 months 40%.
- Full use of the domain from the first cleared payment
- Equal instalments — nothing balloons at the end
- Ownership transfers on the final payment
- Settle early at any time without penalty
Lease with an option to buy
A 10% down payment purchases the option to buy. From there it is a straight lease at 1% of the purchase price per month, for up to 60 months, with immediate use of the domain after the first payment.
- Exercise the purchase at any time for the remaining 90% of the price
- Lease payments are rent, not equity — the buyout stays fixed
- Cancel and walk away at any time with 60 days' notice
- No further obligation on cancellation
Four steps, start to settlement
Choose the name
Search the portfolio and enquire on the name you want. No account, no registration, no third-party marketplace.
Agree the structure
We quote privately and agree the amount, the term length, and which of the two structures suits your position.
Escrow and first payment
The domain is placed with Escrow.com and you make the first payment. Use of the name begins as soon as it clears.
Settlement
On the final instalment — or the day you exercise a buyout — Escrow.com releases the domain into your registrar account.
