A note from the founder

Why we built Plateworth.

I spent years watching private sellers lose money on their plates. Valuation opinions varied wildly. Listings sat for months. Most people gave up and took the first offer that showed up.

Plateworth exists to fix that, and change an industry. People before profit. Data that empowers. One submission, a network of verified dealers and businesses, a competitive offer designed to get you the best price — so the market competes for your plate instead of you chasing the market.

We only get paid by a business when a sale completes. That's how we keep our incentives aligned with yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from private sellers.

Yes. Putting your plate through Plateworth is completely free. If you decide to take the offer you receive or go to auction through our network, we make a small commission from them. You keep 100% of the agreed sale price.

48 hours. You will be notified by email when your results are in. While waiting, you can research registrations to learn more through our research feature.

Both come from our hand-picked UK number plate dealers and automotive businesses. Only vetted businesses are allowed into the Plateworth Network — those with a history of positive customer reviews and experiences.

Our system breaks down your valuations so you know where the low, medium, and high end of your plate sits. The cash offer is no-obligation — it's simply there if you deem it acceptable. We compare it against the spread of your plate's valuations to analyse whether the offer is fair. No headaches. Just data empowering your decisions.

If you don't accept the offer, it simply expires within 7 days. You may re-enter your registration after 30 days to allow for changes in market conditions.

To transfer a registration, you will need either a V750, V778, or V5C logbook. Your details are never shared until necessary — only once you accept an offer do we share your personal details with the business, then guide you through the process.
