        How payment works

        Choose the right structure, share three name options, secure the name, then pay a 70% deposit to start. The 30% balance is due when the job is ready for delivery.

        1

        Choose what you are building

        Pick the registration or trademark path that matches your business — BN, Ltd, LLP, IP, and so on.

        2

        Share 3 name options

        Send three preferred names in order of priority so we can move to the next available option if one is taken.

        3

        Pay name search or 70% deposit

        Start with a name search, or pay the 70% deposit upfront if you are ready to open the full file.

        We confirm availability

        We check the name and confirm whether you can proceed with your first, second, or third option.

        5

        70% deposit → work → 30% balance

        If you only paid for name search, pay the 70% deposit to start. When the job is complete, pay the 30% balance and we deliver.

        Deposit = 70% of package

        All deposits are 70% of the selected package total. The remaining 30% is due when the job is ready for delivery. Name search fees are separate unless bundled into your package.
