International domain query

[bisibee1]

my client is a financial services company with  some ccTLDs for brand name but does not own the .com eg:

brandname.ch, brandname.ro etc

we need to launch a brand UK site plus a global site.  should we go for another name on the .com:

brandname_financial.com_, and:

brandname_financial.ch_, brandname_financial.ro_ etc

or could we go for instead brandname.uk.com and brandname.eu.com?

i'm worried the owner of brandname.com will build a site and out rank us.....however the alternative is a longer url but owning the .com

hope that makes sense and any advice would be gladly received!

Many thanks

No, the owner of brandname.com will not necessarily outrank your client.If they are an established brand, they will have a lot of natural links from a

If the client owns the trademark, they can go through the WIPO process to get that domain.
