Revenue model

1. Seller Commission (Brokerage Fee): Prefixx charges sellers a commission of 3-8% on completed transactions depending on block size. This is the primary revenue stream. Operates on a no-win-no-fee basis — if the deal doesn't close, the seller pays nothing.
2. IPv4 Leasing: Monthly rental fees for IPv4 address blocks ranging from $0.65 to $1 per IP per month depending on block size. Leasing agreements typically range from 6 to 24 months with short-term month-to-month options available.
3. Escrow Services: Secure payment processing through independent escrow for purchase transactions. Funds are held until RIR confirms successful transfer. Additional bank or escrow transaction fees may apply.

Core offering

Prefixx is a boutique IPv4 brokerage that brokers the purchase, sale, and lease of IPv4 address blocks across the four major Regional Internet Registries (ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC). Every engagement is led by a senior IPv4 consultant who manages the full transaction lifecycle — sourcing, due diligence, legal documentation, escrow settlement, RIR coordination, and post-transfer support — and supplements core brokerage with BYOIP deployment, RIPE LIR sponsorship, inter-RIR transfers, and a White-Glove add-on covering geolocation, RPKI, reverse DNS, abuse handling, and blacklist monitoring.

Product overview

Prefixx is a boutique IPv4 brokerage platform offering a unified service for buying, selling, and leasing IPv4 address spaces. The core offering consists of IPv4 Brokerage Services powered by a Client Portal for transaction management, supplemented by value-added modules including White-Glove Service (geo location, reverse DNS, abuse handling), BYOIP (cloud deployment), Tixx by Prefixx (quality control), RIPE LIR Sponsorship, and Hosting/Connectivity. Regional transfer services are branded separately for ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC, and Inter-RIR transfers. The ecosystem integrates with major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and bare metal hosting partners (Netrouting) to deliver end-to-end IPv4 solutions.

Products and services

• IPv4 Buy/Sell Brokerage Brokerage service for buying and selling IPv4 address blocks, acting as intermediary between buyers and sellers. Prefixx drafts service and purchase agreements, runs block diligence, manages RIR coordination across ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, and LACNIC regions, and operates on a no-win-no-fee basis with a 3-8% commission charged only to sellers upon successful completion.
• IPv4 Leasing Monthly rental of IPv4 address blocks at $0.65-$1.00 per IP per month depending on block size, with terms ranging from month-to-month up to 24 months. Includes White-Glove support covering LOA documentation, RPKI configuration, reverse DNS management, and reputation management. Short-term blocks can be provisioned within 24 hours.
• Inter-RIR IPv4 Transfers Cross-regional transfer facilitation of IPv4 address blocks between the four major Regional Internet Registries (ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC), with full regulatory compliance and expert guidance throughout the process. Typically completes in 4-6 weeks depending on source and destination regions.
• BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP) Guaranteed leases for IPv4 address blocks that can be announced on public clouds and bare-metal infrastructure including Amazon, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, and Netrouting. Includes ROA and LOA documentation coordination and RPKI setup so customers can use their own IP ranges across cloud platforms, bypassing public-IPv4 charges.
• Hosting and Connectivity Bare metal servers, cloud infrastructure, and colocation solutions delivered through Prefixx's network of data center partners (including Netrouting, Data Facilities, and LayerSwitch). Includes IP transit from multiple Tier-1 providers for end-to-end infrastructure delivery alongside IPv4 address services.
• RIPE LIR Sponsorship Assistance with obtaining RIPE NCC Local Internet Registry membership for organizations operating in the European region, including account creation, pre-approval, and ongoing sponsorship for IPv4 transfers inside the RIPE jurisdiction.
• ARIN Region Transfers IPv4 transfer facilitation within the ARIN region (North America), including account creation, pre-approval process, and full transfer management. ARIN transfers typically complete in 2-4 weeks.
• RIPE NCC Region Transfers IPv4 transfer facilitation within the RIPE NCC region (Europe, Middle East, Central Asia), including LIR membership setup and transfer management. RIPE NCC intra-regional transfers can complete in as little as 1-2 weeks.
• APNIC Region Transfers IPv4 transfer facilitation within the APNIC region (Asia-Pacific), including membership application and pre-approval process. APNIC-region pricing tends to run at elevated rates above $0.60 per IP for leasing.
• LACNIC Region Transfers IPv4 transfer facilitation within the LACNIC region (Latin America and Caribbean), including membership setup and transfer coordination. LACNIC transfer fees apply per block size: $1,000 USD for blocks smaller than /19 and $1,500 USD for blocks /19 and larger, with a $200 USD non-refundable deposit required before LACNIC reviews the transfer request.
