A few hours from your team.
Value from years of work.
The buyer licenses an agreed copy of records your company already has. You decide which systems and dates are in, and nothing moves until the price and scope are signed.
Share the basics
Company size, years of history and the tools you use. No files, no logins, no commitment.
Review a fixed offer
The buyer reviews fit and sends a written offer listing the systems, date ranges, price and payment schedule.
Export, clean, pay
Your team signs in to the approved systems. The buyer exports the agreed copy, removes sensitive material, then pays as agreed.
Free review. No obligation to accept.
The everyday records you already keep
AI developers want real examples of how work gets done: questions, decisions, documents and follow-ups. A buyer typically asks for most of these. The more years and the more of them you include, the stronger the offer.
Email and calendar
Business conversations and coordination. Usually the biggest and most valuable part of a company's history.
Documents and files
Working materials and company knowledge.
Chat and collaboration
How your teams solve problems together, in tools like Slack, Teams or Jira.
Calls and transcripts
Recorded discussions and decisions, for example from Zoom.
CRM and sales
Customer journeys and commercial context, from Salesforce, HubSpot and similar.
Billing and operations
Invoices, payments and the systems that run the business, such as QuickBooks or NetSuite.
You set the boundaries
The agreement lists the approved systems and date ranges before anything is exported. Your team reviews it first.
Your originals stay with you. Names come out of the copy.

No black box. Here is exactly how the estimate works.
The calculator uses the buyer's own published indicative model, unchanged. We show it so you can check the number yourself and see what moves it.
- Headcount and history drive it. Each full-time desk employee adds $2,400 to the base, because desk staff produce a steady stream of email, documents and chat. Non-desk staff count for a tenth as much.
- Every year of history adds value. Ten years of records is worth noticeably more than three.
- Some industries earn more. The model gives law, accounting, medical and finance firms a 1.3x uplift.
- Country changes the rate. US companies get the full rate. UK, Canadian and Australian companies get 75% of it.
- The range is wide on purpose. Record volume, quality and ownership are only known after review, so the top of the range is about four times the bottom.
Figures in pounds, Canadian or Australian dollars are converted from US dollars at the 21 October 2026 rate and rounded. The buyer may pay in US dollars.
| Base value | $2,400 per desk employee, $240 per other employee, $16,500 fixed, plus $12,250 per year of records |
|---|---|
| Uplift | Plus 150% of the base, capped at $145,000 |
| Buyer's factor | Multiplied by 0.615 |
| Industry | 1.3x for legal, accounting, medical and finance; 1.0x otherwise |
| Country | 1.0x US; 0.75x UK, Canada, Australia |
| Range shown | About 0.89x to 3.54x of that figure, rounded to $10K |
Example: a 60-person US agency with 10 years of records comes out at $230K to $930K.
Established firms with years of records
The buyer currently looks for companies and nonprofits based in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada or Australia, with several years of records they own and at least this many full-time desk staff.
The questions owners ask first
Is this a scam?
It is a fair question, and you should ask it of anyone offering to pay for company records. Three things to check with any buyer: they should never ask for passwords, they should put the scope and price in a signed agreement before anything is exported, and they should not charge you a fee to take part.
The buyer we link to says it charges no broker fee, agrees systems and date ranges in writing before any export, and has your own team sign in to approved systems rather than hand over passwords. If anything in a real conversation contradicts that, walk away.
Will our clients or customers find out?
The buyer says it does not publish your source records or sell them as a report about your company, and that names and contact details are removed or replaced before the copy goes to AI developers. Whether your client contracts require you to tell anyone is a question for your own lawyer, and it is worth asking before you sign.
What about GDPR, HIPAA or client confidentiality?
We cannot advise on whether your company is allowed to license its records, and no one should give you that answer on a calculator site. It depends on your sector rules, your client contracts and local law. Put the question to the buyer and to your own adviser. The estimate is still useful as a first number to weigh against that cost.
Do we give up our data?
No. You keep your original records and systems. The buyer licenses an agreed copy, and the written agreement sets out exactly what that copy covers and whether any exclusivity applies.
How much work is it for my team?
The buyer describes it as a few hours from your side: share the basics, review and approve the scope, then sign in to the approved systems so the export can run. It says no change to how you operate is needed.
How long does it take to get paid?
The buyer says it generally expects about three months from the first conversation to payment. That depends on scope, rights review, contracting and the export itself, and the milestones are written into your agreement. Treat it as a typical figure, not a promise.
Is the number on this page an offer?
No. It is an indicative range from the buyer's published model, based on headcount, years of history, industry and country. The buyer makes a fixed offer only after reviewing the systems and dates in scope, record volume and quality, and your ownership and access terms. Your real number could be higher, lower or nothing at all.
Who is the buyer?
A US company that runs a data partnership programme for businesses and nonprofits. It buys agreed, de-identified copies of company records for AI research and training. You will see exactly who it is the moment you click through, before you share anything with anyone.
How is this site paid?
If your company goes on to sign a data licence with the buyer, the buyer pays us a referral fee. You pay us nothing. We are telling you this up front because you deserve to know before you click. Read the full disclosure.
