invest.co.uk

A savvy international domain name broker I have known for years suggests a decent six-figure £sum is achievable for invest.co.uk – he’s been involved recently with a transaction involving invest.com for between $3 and $5m.

He somewhat disparagingly reckons that UK TLDs are worth only around 10% of the corresponding .com domains.  Even that would be ok for me but I would argue that for a UK-based investment concern the UK TLD is actually better targeted at the demographic.  All it would take is a retail financial services giant like BlackRock or LGIM to want a branded campaign (for co.uk) or a global player marketing inward investment to the UK to sovereign investors (for .uk) to get interested for that kind of valuation to look very reasonable.
