SharedTenure

Hire out idle time. Make an asset earn.

Most shared assets sit unused for much of the year — a holiday week nobody has booked, a boat on its mooring, a machine between jobs. Advertise that idle time for hire, take enquiries directly, and — where the asset is co-owned — share whatever it earns between the owners in proportion to their holdings.

How it works today

1

Enable hire on your scheme

Switch on hire for an asset you own or co-own. It works for a solo-owned asset just as well as a shared one.

2

Advertise windows of idle time

Publish the weeks, days or — for equipment — hours the asset is free, with your own price and terms. The window appears on your scheme's public page.

3

Enquiries come straight to you

Interested hirers enquire through the listing. The enquiry lands with you, or the scheme manager — never a middleman.

4

Confirm and arrange payment

The scheme manager confirms the booking with the hirer and arranges payment directly. For now, that payment is handled off-platform between the two of you.

Being straight about where this is today: you can advertise idle time and take enquiries now, and the scheme manager confirms each booking and arranges payment directly. Online card payment, damage deposits and automatic owner payouts are on the way.

What can earn from idle time

The same idea fits very different assets. Anything that sits idle between uses can earn while it waits.

Unused holiday weeks

A fractional holiday home has weeks no owner has claimed. Let them to guests and the week earns for its owners instead of standing empty.

Days the boat is free

A syndicate boat can be chartered on days no member has booked, turning quiet mid-week slots into income shared across the syndicate.

A shared robot, hired to help

A residential block's shared robot can be hired to help care for a resident for a few weeks — extra support exactly when it is needed.

Hired for a project

The same block robot can go out on hire for a DIY or renovation project, earning its keep between the jobs it does for residents.

Humanoid robots working alongside staff on a factory production line

Extra hands for a busy spell

Humanoid robots can be hired in to add capacity on a factory line through a busy period, then returned when the peak passes.

A machinery ring

A farm or trade machinery ring hires kit out between members, so an expensive machine earns on the days its owner does not need it.

Shared income, fairly split

When an asset is co-owned, hire income belongs to all of its owners — not just whoever happens to arrange the booking. The income is shared in proportion to each owner's holding, so an owner of one-eighth is credited one-eighth of what the asset earns.

The platform keeps the record of what was hired, when, and for how much, set against each owner's share. That is the model. Automatic owner payouts are on the way; for now the figures are recorded and the scheme manager settles up.
