The seven things to check
- Exclusivity. Exclusive means you can only sell this data once. A set term is safer than "forever."
- What's included. Which systems and which years. Leave out data you hold for clients.
- Payment timing. When you get paid, and whether there's an acceptance period where the buyer can walk away.
- Who removes personal details, by when, and whether you get written proof the raw files were deleted.
- Where the data can go. Whether the buyer can pass it on, and to whom.
- Your company sale. If you might sell the company, a forever-exclusive license can come up in due diligence. Does licensing data hurt a sale?
- Your contracts. Client agreements and financing documents can limit what you license. Ask your lawyer.

See what my data is worth →Why first offers move
Buyers price on what they can see, and a first offer often comes before they've seen the full history. More years, more systems and a remote team usually mean a better number. Published ranges run from $10K to $5M across buyers. See them all.
