What .claims does not tell UK consumers about FCA authorisation
Claims management in Great Britain has been regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority since 1 April 2019, when the job passed to it from the Claims Management Regulator. Any claims management company constituted under the law of England, Wales or Scotland, or serving customers in Great Britain, needs FCA permission for the regulated activities it carries out, and the FCA split the old single permission into seven: one for lead generation and one each for financial services and products, personal injury, housing disrepair, specified benefit, criminal injury and employment.
None of that has anything to do with your domain name. A .claims address is sold to anyone who wants one, with no check on authorisation, and the consumer protection advice points people at the Financial Services Register rather than at the address bar. So treat this extension as a description of what you do, not as a credential.
It is also one of the dearer endings in this group, several times the price of a .co.uk every year, on a keyword that carries reputational baggage from the PPI era. That combination is worth weighing before you commit.
Is .claims the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.claims works well if
- You run an FCA-authorised claims operation under a brand where the word "claims" is doing real work, and the .co.uk is long gone.
- You are a solicitor firm launching a dedicated claims line and want it separated from the main practice site in name as well as in navigation.
- You want the keyword variant out of a competitor's hands, and a defensive registration is cheaper than the argument later.
Look elsewhere if
- You think the extension will reassure a nervous consumer. It cannot: anyone can buy one, and the FCA points people at the Financial Services Register.
- You are a small firm counting the annual bill. This is several times what a .co.uk costs, and it renews every year for as long as you trade.
- Your keyword sits in a sector people already approach warily. An unfamiliar ending on a claims website reads as one more thing to check.
If most of your enquiries come from UK searches, the .co.uk does more for you and costs a fraction as much. See .co.uk pricing.
.claims vs .co.uk: which should you register?
The honest comparison is not really about the two extensions. It is about whether the word "claims" belongs in front of the dot or behind it. yourfirmclaims.co.uk and yourfirm.claims say the same thing; only one of them costs several times as much a year and looks unfamiliar to somebody who has been told to be careful.
Where .claims earns its place is a national brand with a marketing budget behind it, running its own campaigns and able to teach people the address. Where it does not is a regional firm whose enquiries arrive through Google, a directory listing or a recommendation. That firm wants the UK signal and the familiar shape, and should put the money into the site instead.
.claims domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .claims domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyThe domain has no bearing on it either way. What matters is the activity: any claims management company constituted under the law of England, Wales or Scotland, or serving customers in Great Britain, must hold FCA permission for the regulated activities it carries out. That obligation follows what your business does, not what your website is called, and it applies just as much on a .co.uk. The registry performs no authorisation check when you order a .claims, so nobody should read one as evidence of anything.
Probably not, and it can do the reverse. People searching for help with a claim are usually under pressure and have been warned about cold callers and lookalike sites, so an ending they have never seen is a reason to slow down rather than a reason to relax. The trust signals that actually work are a Financial Services Register entry people can check, a named firm with a real address, plain pricing and a site that loads properly on a phone.
Registries price by how commercially attractive they judge the keyword to be, and a word attached to a paid-services sector attracts a higher wholesale rate. That price is the annual renewal too, not just the first year, so a .claims is a standing cost for as long as the business trades. Over ten years the gap against a .co.uk adds up to real money. If the domain is a campaign address rather than your main one, that is worth knowing before you commit to it.
