The answers owners need first

Starting with security

Is there a cost?

No. From the estimate on, you pay nothing.

What becomes of names and identifiers?

They become placeholders in the copy. The work is still visible; the people are not.

Will you ask for our passwords?

No. Nobody asks for a password, and none is ever shared. That is true at every stage.

Can we review what is shared?

They are. You approve a sample of the copy before anything goes out. If you do not approve, the copy goes nowhere.

Is there an NDA?

They are. Everything starts under NDA, and nothing is shared until you approve.

Do our original files leave our systems?

Never. Originals never leave you. What gets licensed is only a de-identified copy made by License Your Data.

Can we leave things out?

Yes, entirely. Any system, folder, client or matter can be excluded. You make those choices.

The estimate

What kind of company fits?

Businesses with 20 or more full-time staff and 3 or more years behind them. Smaller teams with years of history may qualify too.

What changes the range?

Team size and years in business. Your industry helps match buyers but does not change the number.

What will you ask me?

How big your team is, how long you have operated and what you do, and then how to reach you. That is all.

Is the range guaranteed?

No. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee. The final number rests on buyer interest and a review of the records.

After you submit

Can I still decline later?

You can, at every step up to signing. Sharing waits for your approval.

And if my company is not a fit today?

You will see it on the form. Should you be below the bar today, you will hear from us if a matching buyer appears.

We are a legal, accounting or healthcare practice. Is this open to us?

Scope is decided with you and your counsel, and client or patient data stays out. Legal advice is not something we give.

Who gets in touch?

A data specialist from License Your Data, our licensing partner, calls within minutes to book a 15-minute call.
