Who we are

FROTL is a trading name of LMS Trading Group Limited (company number 16456615), registered office Unit 5i Church Farm Buildings, Lasham Road, Lasham, Alton, England, GU34 5FZ.

Our role

FROTL operates a marketplace where verified UK motorcycle dealers bid to buy motorcycles from private sellers. FROTL is never the buyer, never takes title to a motorcycle and never handles the vehicle purchase price.

Sellers

You confirm that the information you supply is accurate and that you are legally entitled to sell the motorcycle. Offers are made on the basis of your description; a dealer may re-appraise on collection if the bike differs materially from the profile. Do not release the motorcycle until cleared payment has been received.

Dealers

Only dealers verified by FROTL may bid. Bids are binding commitments to buy at that price subject to the motorcycle matching its profile. Winning dealers owe FROTL a marketplace acquisition fee based on the agreed sale price. Accounts with overdue fees may be blocked from bidding.

Dealer fees and payment terms

When a dealer registers they actively accept these terms and commit to paying the marketplace acquisition fee on every motorcycle they win. The fee is set by the published fee bands and is invoiced once the motorcycle has been collected and the seller has confirmed cleared payment. Invoices are payable within 7 calendar days of issue, by bank transfer to LMS Trading Group Limited, quoting the invoice number.

Overdue invoices may accrue statutory interest and fixed debt recovery costs under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. Any overdue balance may suspend bidding access across the marketplace until it is settled. Where a sale genuinely falls through and we accept the report after review, no fee is charged.

Auctions

Dealer offers are sealed. Dealers cannot see another dealer's amount, offer count or ranking. A dealer may raise or lower their own offer before the stated close time. After closing, the highest valid offer is presented to the seller; equal offers are ordered by the earliest effective submission. Nothing is ever accepted on a seller's behalf.
