Escrow services

Six categories cover most of what we settle. If your transaction does not fit one of them, call us — the structure is usually a variation of something below.

Digital assets

Domain & Website Escrow

Domain names, live websites, mobile apps, SaaS products, ad accounts and monetised social profiles.

The seller pushes the domain into our holding account or directly to the buyer's registrar, depending on what the parties agreed. Our officer confirms the transfer independently at the registrar before a dollar moves. For revenue-producing sites we can also hold the transfer for an agreed verification period while the buyer confirms analytics and payment processor access.

  • Registrar-to-registrar push or authorisation-code transfer
  • Optional holding period for content, hosting and account handover
  • Escrow of source code, repositories and credentials alongside the domain
  • Agent or referral commissions paid directly out of the disbursement
Transaction range
$1,000 – $5,000,000
Typical timeline
Typically 2 – 4 business days

Titled property

Motor Vehicle Escrow

Classic and collector cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, trailers, boats and light aircraft.

Vehicle deals fail on paperwork more often than on the vehicle itself. We coordinate the title, confirm any lien payoff with the lienholder, hold funds while transport is arranged, and start the inspection clock only when the vehicle is confirmed delivered — not when it leaves the seller.

  • Lien payoff handled directly with the lienholder before disbursement
  • Title and bill of sale reviewed before funds release
  • Inspection period begins on confirmed delivery, not on shipment
  • Transport and pre-purchase inspection paid from escrow if agreed
Transaction range
$2,500 – $2,000,000
Typical timeline
Typically 7 – 14 business days

Physical goods

General Merchandise Escrow

Watches, jewelry, fine art, collectibles, instruments, electronics and wholesale lots.

High-value goods bought sight-unseen need a defined inspection window and a defined return path. We write both into the instructions before the buyer funds, so nobody is negotiating terms after the item is already in a box.

  • Inspection period of 1 – 14 days, agreed in advance
  • Third-party authentication or appraisal can be a release condition
  • Insured, tracked shipping required and recorded on the file
  • Return shipping responsibility fixed in writing before funding
Transaction range
$1,000 – $1,000,000
Typical timeline
Typically 5 – 10 business days

Services

Milestone & Contracted Services

Development work, construction subcontracts, consulting engagements and creative production.

The full contract value is funded up front and released in stages. The contractor can see the money exists before starting work; the client keeps control of it until each stage is delivered and approved. Unreleased milestones stay in trust and can be refunded if the engagement ends early.

  • Up to twelve milestones per file, each with its own deliverable and amount
  • Client approves or rejects each milestone within the agreed window
  • Partial refunds of unreleased milestones on cancellation
  • Change orders added to an open file without restarting escrow
Transaction range
$1,000 – $5,000,000
Typical timeline
Runs for the length of the engagement

Industrial

Machinery & Equipment Escrow

Construction equipment, agricultural machinery, CNC and production lines, medical and lab equipment.

Equipment is heavy, expensive to return and often sold across state lines. We hold the funds while rigging and freight are arranged, and structure the release around a functional inspection at the buyer's site rather than a visual one at the dock.

  • Release conditioned on a power-on or functional inspection
  • Freight, rigging and crating costs disbursed from escrow if agreed
  • UCC lien search on financed equipment before funding
  • Dealer and auction house transactions supported
Transaction range
$5,000 – $10,000,000
Typical timeline
Typically 10 – 21 business days

M&A

Business & Asset Sales

Small-business acquisitions, client books, IP portfolios, and asset purchase agreements.

We act as the settlement agent named in your purchase agreement: holding the deposit through diligence, holding back an indemnity reserve after closing, and disbursing to the parties on the schedule counsel drafted. We do not give legal or tax advice — we execute what your documents say.

  • Good-faith deposit held through the diligence period
  • Post-closing holdback and indemnity reserves with scheduled release dates
  • Multi-party disbursement to sellers, lenders and lienholders
  • Works alongside your attorney's purchase agreement
Transaction range
$25,000 – $25,000,000
Typical timeline
Set by the purchase agreement

Something else?

We have settled livestock, film equipment, bulk raw materials, tuition deposits and the sale of a licensed radio frequency. If the asset can be identified, the delivery verified and the parties identified, escrow generally works.

What we do not hold: cryptocurrency, cash, gift cards, gambling proceeds, firearms requiring FFL transfer, controlled substances, or any transaction we cannot complete identity verification on.

Ask an escrow officer

Describe the deal and we will tell you within one business day whether we can structure it, and how.
