IPv4 Brokerage Firm Enabling Sellers to Succeed in the IPv4 Market and Preserve their IPv4 Assets
Structuring and closing IPv4 market transactions
The principals of Avenue4 collectively bring nearly 50 years of experience structuring and negotiating complex transactions. We have a thorough understanding of the assets, and after negotiating some of the largest IPv4 market deals for the most demanding parties, we know how to fairly allocate the risks and responsibilities between parties. We always strive to find solutions that bridge the gap between buyer and seller with the goal of closing a good deal for both.
Avenue4 has created over $400 million in value for its IPv4 brokerage clients.
Facilitating IPv4 market transfers
There are five regional Internet registries around the world, each with its own policies, almost none of them are the same. We use our comprehensive knowledge of each RIR’s transfer policies to navigate the transfer process -- helping to deliver market-leading outcomes while ensuring registration transfers happen smoothly and efficiently. That way, buyers and sellers can more quickly get back to running their businesses.
Developing go-to-market strategies
Whether and when to enter the IPv4 market, setting minimum prices, and defining maximum levels of risk are all decisions that are unique to each seller. Each seller also possesses specific business attributes that can be leveraged to attract certain buyers or otherwise enhance the value of the available opportunities. At Avenue4, we take the time and apply the effort to work with our clients to prepare market participation strategies that are best suited for them.
Matching buyers with sellers
We have nearly three decades of successful experience working with ISPs, telcos, and cloud computing, enterprise hosting, outsourcing and other IT providers. The strategic relationships we have built over the years, and our reputation as trusted IPv4 brokers, delivers exceptional value to sellers (our clients) and their buyers. We excel at connecting sellers and buyers who want to make deals.
Identifying value enhancing opportunities
Avenue4 does not simply focus on brokering one-and-done IPv4 asset sale transactions . We work with our sellers and their prospective buyers to determine how to maximize the value of each opportunity. Sometimes the best value proposition is not obvious, and that’s where we can make the difference.
Conducting due diligence
IPv4 numbers seem fungible. But with hundreds of sellers and buyers conducting well over a thousand transfers annually, the risk of number misuse, fraud and abuse is very real. We only accept numbers that we determine are “clean” after they undergo our thorough due diligence process.
We help companies reduce risks and protect their IPv4 assets when engaging in M&A activities, clearing up registration conflicts or inaccuracies, or participating (or planning to participate) in the IPv4 market.
Maintaining IPv4 registry records and preserving entitlements
Internet number holders face operational, financial and legal risks that can cause harm to an organization if not understood and managed effectively. Avenue4 helps companies reduce these risks, and preserve and protect their IPv4 assets (whether or not participating in the IPv4 market) .
Our services include assessing the RIR registration records and relevant corporate transaction documents to identify and then quantify the effects of any errors, developing and executing strategies to effectively engage with the RIRs, ISPs and other third parties to address potential gaps in the "chain of title," and negotiating (on our clients behalf) with the RIRs, ISPs and other stakeholders.
