Our industry defining domain and website EquipmentHire.com is currently for sale.
We are a privately owned venture and part of a network of the highest grade domains and websites.
With our network of sites, we cover most genres, from Travel, to Games,to Social Networking, to Hire, and much more in between.
Our plan with our Hire domains, had always been to develop our sites with full blown paid directories in mind producing a high turnover annually. The option was always there further in the future to develop the domains as full blown brands and businesses with venture funding. It was our thinking that the most memorable generic terms would be the best to ‘brand’, they are after all what tens of thousands of people enter in google alone every month looking for the exact service.
Imagine a powertool or cherrypicker or floorsander, with ‘EquipmentHire.com’ on the side. Impossible to forget and it wouldn’t need tens of millions of marketing like other companies to be remembered.
This website alone, appears on the first page of google for ‘equipment hire’, from over 8.5 million results.It shows the power of top end category defining domains.
By appearing so high in the seo, you push your competition further down, you save on marketing ,ppc, etc.
You inspire confidence with the consumer, letting them know you must be the leader in your field to have the industry defining generic phrase.
This is a big opportunity for a startup or a new venture wanting to become a player in this billion £ market that by owning this domain you could potentially move into the Global Market. Equipment Hire is the defining term not just in the UK, but in New Zealand, Australia, and some other English speaking countries around the World.
To any company interested in making an approach, we are not at this stage putting a fixed price on ownership of the domain and site. We would instead offer a guide of £100,000 +.
This leaves us the opportunity to consider all offers, and to guide companies and interested parties what sort of range would not be considered.
Obviously there are thousands of companies in this sector and everyone would like to be at the table but we would like to entertain the most serious, to be fair to everyone. Even in this range we are selling for pennies in the pound as to the true value of what can be acheived with this property.
We would also consider leasing the domain on an annual basis, or even a joint partnership with the right company. The name and brand is big enough to be a franchise in it’s own right, so if you are a venture capital company or a smaller hire company with a vision, we would like to hear from you.
Our domain has been in private ownership since 1999 and this is really a one-off, once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire it. You can be sure any new owner will never sell to the competition.
The reason we are even considering selling, is because we do not currently have the seed funding to take these brands into fully developed businesses as they deserve. As mentioned we operate a large number of sites, but our core area is social networking and we are currently raising funding to take our main site to a new level .
As we are self funded and never borrow, it is natural and necessary for us to look to sell some assets to further the progress of our flagship social networking site.
Opportunity knocks for You.
In our opinion , we also own the single best portfolio of hire industry domains in the world.
We feel our portfolio is worth more sold individually as many are category defining industries within the sector.
However a couple of companies may value owning the entire portfolio for current and future useage, and to prevent any competitor of using and owning. As stated, we are considering parting with EquipmentHire.com initially if we receive an adequate offer.
We have listed a number of other sites and domains in our portfolio to give a flavour of the quality of domains and sites we operate. Some of which were first registered in the 1990′s.
