The Opportunity
Your business has been recording how skilled work gets done. Some buyers will pay to license that.
AI developers need examples of real work to train and test their systems: how a problem was raised, what people tried, what they decided and how it turned out. Established operating businesses produce those records every day, usually without thinking of them as an asset.
What a license is
Specific permission for a buyer to use an agreed set of material. The agreement defines the material, the permitted use, the period and the commercial terms.
What you keep
Your company, your ownership and your records. Licensing is a separate transaction from selling the business, raising equity or taking a loan. Your systems keep running as they do today.
What you decide
Whether to explore it, what's included, what stays out and whether the final terms are worth it. A good price still has to be weighed against the use allowed and the effort involved.
Where it starts
A useful conversation comes before any price.
The first step is an assessment conversation. We help you describe what exists: the systems, how many years of history, roughly how much, what kind of work it records and who would make the decision.
From that, our fulfilment partner decides whether a closer look is worth it. If it is, you'll know exactly who is involved and what they need before any technical work begins. If it isn't, we'll tell you so.
Owner questions
What owners ask first
Straight answers where we have them. Where the answer depends on your records and your deal, we say that and tell you who gives the real answer.
What could we earn?
We can't give you a number on the first call, and anyone who does is guessing. Value depends on what the records contain, whether a buyer needs that kind of material right now, what you're willing to include and the terms of use.
If our partner sees a fit, its team carries out the assessment and gives you an estimate for your specific records. You'll see it before you're asked to commit to anything.
Who does the work?
We run the first conversation, prepare the brief and lead the seller-side process with you. Our fulfilment partner handles the detailed assessment, security, legal work, preparation, valuation and the buyer side.
Your team's part is mostly decisions: who's involved, what's in scope, what stays out. The partner tells you exactly what it needs from your side once it has scoped the work.
Will this disrupt the business?
The first stages are conversations. Nobody touches your systems until you've agreed to a detailed assessment, and then the partner's specialists scope the access and staff time needed before any work starts.
We won't promise a workload or method before that team has looked at your setup. You'll get their answer, in writing, before you decide.
Who decides what gets licensed?
You do. The partner proposes which records fit a buyer requirement and on what terms. You approve the scope and the transaction, and you can exclude customers, departments, date ranges or anything else you want kept out.
An assessment doesn't commit you to any use or any offer.
Can the same records be licensed again?
That depends on the terms of each license. Some are exclusive, some aren't. Bring any existing licensing or representation agreements to the conversation and the partner's team will confirm what further use is possible for your records.
When does payment happen?
Payment terms are set per transaction. The partner explains which events trigger your payment, what could delay it and how progress is reported, for your actual deal. We'd rather tell you the real answer for your terms than quote a standard timetable.
What about our customers' information?
Contracts, confidentiality obligations and personal information are exactly what the rights review and security work cover. Raise anything sensitive early. The partner's specialists answer those questions directly, and material you aren't comfortable with stays out.
Start with a conversation
Tell us about your business and the systems you work in. We'll tell you honestly whether it looks worth a closer look, and what would happen next. We won't quote a price or ask for any data on that first call.
