My initial thoughts are:

- Exclusive rights to the brand name. [You mean you invented the name and you're going to let me use it?]

- Ownership of dot-com domain. [£3/year]

- Professionally designed logo. [search for "logo" on google, find one you like, try and copy in Inkscape like I did [1]. It's not gonna be brilliant but it will probably be as good as the ones shown and you can change it later when you're earning £££'s]

- One page business plan. [Download a business plan template, fill in the questions. Fair enough though, this guy might be a genius at this stuff but I'd need to know a LOT more before spending $500]

- One hour personal consultation. [I can talk business-y stuff for an hour too. Especially if I've got a one page business plan I can go through point by point.]

And let's say that the person selling these is a professional entreprenuer with the correct experience, and that these are a bargain because you're going to get invaluable advice on starting up. Well - he/she hasn't done a very good job of conveying that on the site itself....?

About your second point. That's the domain renewal fees not the acquisition cost.
All you have to do is pick a domain that isn't currently being used. A quick check on namecheap.com and I can have:

priorpermission.com

priorconsent.org

priorconsent.me

all for < £10
