Get paid for data
you already own.

Your business already collects records, reports and media. We help you assess whether someone would pay to license them, then work through the scope and terms of a potential deal.

These categories reflect published licensing programs. We confirm the current buying brief, required permissions and collection fit before proposing a deal.

02 / How it worksFind the fit before doing the work

Here’s how
licensing works.

Do not spend weeks preparing files for an unknown buyer. Start with the collection you have. Check the buyer fit before spending on cleanup or exports.

See what needs to be agreed ↓
  1. 01

    Tell us what you have.

    Describe the records, where they are stored, their approximate volume and the period they cover. Tell us who owns them. Keep the files where they are for now.

    You provide: a short description
  2. 02

    Check the buyer fit.

    We help compare the collection with a prospective buyer’s requirements. Is the subject right? Is the coverage useful? What would need to change before a closer review?

    We assess: demand and requirements
  3. 03

    Agree what the deal includes.

    Work through the price, permitted use, licensing period and preparation costs. Set the rules for any sample or detailed review. Decide whether the proposed arrangement works for you.

    You review: scope, costs and terms
  4. 04

    Deliver against the agreement.

    Once the parties agree to proceed, coordinate the documents, delivery and acceptance steps. Any updates, continuing supply and payment milestones belong in that agreement.

    Both sides follow: the agreed process

03 / Who we work withOwners. Buyers. Introducers.

Tell us what you need
Referral partners

Know the right business?

Discuss referral terms
04 / Your questionsStraight answers.

Before you
get started.

How much could we earn?

That depends on what you have and what a buyer needs. Coverage, quality, rarity, permitted use and preparation costs all affect the price. First we assess the collection and buyer fit. A payment figure comes with a specific opportunity, not a guess.

Why would someone pay for our data?

A buyer may need records that would take time and money to collect themselves. Your value could be specialist coverage, a long history or useful context. The question is whether your collection solves a specific need.

Do we need to clean or export everything first?

No. Start with a description. We need to understand the collection and the requirement before deciding what preparation is worthwhile. Any export, cleanup or labeling work should have a defined scope and someone responsible for its cost.

What if we only have a small collection?

Tell us about it. A smaller collection with specialist coverage can be worth discussing. Size alone does not tell us whether there is a match. The subject, quality, context and buyer’s requirements matter too.

Are we selling the business or handing over all our records?

The discussion is about licensing a defined collection for an agreed use. The proposed terms should identify exactly what is included, who can use it and any restrictions. You review those terms before deciding whether to proceed.

Does the license have to be exclusive?

That is a term to negotiate for the specific opportunity. Ask what exclusivity would cover, how long it would last and what it would prevent you from doing. Understand those limits before accepting them.

What about sensitive or confidential records?

Describe the collection without sending the records. We first need to understand the permissions, confidentiality requirements and preparation needed for the proposed use. Any detailed review needs an agreed process.

Can we earn a referral fee?

We can discuss a referral arrangement before an introduction. Tell us your relationship to the owner and the type of data involved. Any fee, payment trigger and responsibilities need to be agreed in advance.

What if we want to buy data?

Send a brief covering the data type, intended use, volume, geography, format and timeline. We will assess whether our business relationships can help identify suitable owners and what a sourcing engagement would involve.

Take the first stepStart with a description. No upload needed.

You have the data.
Let’s talk.

Discuss your data

Tell us these four things.

  • Your company and what you do
  • What data you have or need
  • Rough volume and date range
  • Whether you own it or represent the owner

No pitch deck required. Describe what you have and what you want to achieve. Keep the files and confidential details for an agreed review.
