Full summary
Tobias Sattler, publisher of Domain Brief, has founded the advisory firm TLD Support together with three partners. The firm checks domain and hosting companies before a takeover and then helps with the integration that follows.
TLD Support Limited was registered in New Zealand on October 19. The founding team includes Lenz Gschwendtner, Tobias Sattler, Sebastian Bruns and Manuela Vetters. Before this, the four worked at companies including united-domains, iwantmyname and neubau kompass.
The firm serves buyers such as private equity firms, as well as companies that acquire other businesses on a regular basis. Management teams preparing a sale are also among its clients. TLD Support does not offer financial, legal or tax advice.
Before a purchase, TLD Support reviews the data room and holds talks with management. A first check for warning signs takes three to five working days, and a full specialist review takes two to four weeks. Each phase can be ordered separately, and billing is at a fixed price.
