About Accuro Consulting
We broker IPv4 address space. Our consultants and industry veterans help clients buy, sell, lease and manage IPv4 so their growth is not limited by a resource that stopped being issued in 2011.
Who is Accuro Consulting?
Accuro Consulting is an IPv4 address brokerage founded in 2011 and headquartered at 1940 Duke Street, Second Floor, Alexandria, VA. It combines hosting and internet-market expertise across a team with a combined 78 years of industry experience, operating through eight primary consultants and their support personnel in four areas of practice: market making, brokerage, IP management and IPv6 transition planning, and business marketing.
Four areas of practice
IPv4 market making
Accuro is the only firm actively making a market in IPv4 space. When a client needs quick liquidity for excess addresses, we will speculatively buy that space at a fair price rather than only introduce a buyer. We also allow sellers to dictate the terms of the license or purchase all the way through to the end user, which is what gives a seller real control over how their former space is used.
IPv4 brokerage
Our main area of focus. With consultants in three offices worldwide, we reach a wider pool of buyers and sellers than a single-region broker can, which matters most when a block is unusual in size or origin.
IP management and IPv6 transition planning
Two IP utilization experts lead our engineering and IP management technicians. Whether you need help managing existing space, rationalising current usage to free up unused prefixes, or planning a move toward IPv6 on a realistic dual-stack timeline, this team produces the analysis the other practices then act on.
Business marketing and package sales
Because of the value IPv4 space now carries, many hosting and internet ventures find their addresses are worth as much as the entire enterprise. Our business marketing group works with business broker partners to provide one solution for both: maximum value for the underlying business and maximum value for the IPv4 assets. The group also provides appraisal services, third-party valuation assessments and feasibility studies.
How an engagement usually runs
- Assessment. A free review of what you hold, how it is used and what is genuinely spare over a one, three and five year horizon.
- Structure. A consultant recommends one of the five selling structures or seven acquisition models, based on your constraint rather than on the block.
- Terms. You approve the offering memo, including any limits on who the space may go to and what it may be used for.
- Market and match. The block is marketed, or a matching block is sourced, and both parties are vetted.
- File and close. Purchase agreement, registry filing, and where the deal calls for it, ongoing monitoring for the life of the transaction.
