Who buys Michigan company dataIndustries buyers want in MichiganPublished bandsWhat Michigan law saysWhat to do firstWho buys Michigan company data
The buyers are AI data companies and the brokers that feed them. Every one we track licenses from companies anywhere in the United States, and most want a team based here. None of them need you to be in a particular city. What they need is years of records your company owns: email, chat, tickets, jobs, invoices, drawings, the back-and-forth around every decision. Every buyer, compared.
Michigan manufacturing records are the kind buyers name first: a part, a spec, a rejection, a corrective action, a re-test.
Industries buyers want in Michigan
Briggs Analytics estimate for a 50-person company with ten years of records. The buyer sets the final price after reading a sample.
| Industry | Estimate (50 people, 10 years) | Why Michigan |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing | $190,000 to $460,000 | Automotive suppliers hold years of PPAP, quality and ERP records, the most decision-heavy manufacturing data there is. |
| Architecture / engineering | $210,000 to $510,000 | Engineering firms around Detroit with revision and RFI history. |
| Trucking | $190,000 to $450,000 | Carriers serving the auto supply chain. |
| Mortgage / lending | $250,000 to $590,000 | Detroit is home to large lenders and a long tail of mortgage brokers with underwriting files. |
| Construction | $210,000 to $510,000 | Contractors with bids and change orders. |

No intermediary publishes a Michigan-specific band yet. The published examples elsewhere run from $173,163 (one closed deal) to $650,000 (a 100-person freight broker), and the reported median offer across the market is $336,000. Every buyer and broker, compared.
What Michigan law says
No comprehensive state privacy law. Michigan has no comprehensive consumer privacy law as of October 2026. Breach notice rules apply.
What that means in practice: the agreement does the work. Which categories are out, how identifying fields are removed, and what the buyer can do downstream. Customer and employee personal data stays out of every deal we see, whatever the state. Ask your lawyer. What to ask for in the agreement.
Briggs Analytics is not a law firm and never tells you whether you have the right to license your records. The buyer's agreement and your lawyer do.
What to do first
- Get the estimate. It takes about a minute, asks for no files, and shows which buyers fit a Michigan company of your size and age.
- Fill in the data inventory: every system, the years you can export, how much is there.
- Decide what is out before anyone asks: customer and employee personal data, client-owned files, anything restricted.
- Get more than one number before you sign anything. An exclusive license can only be sold once.
In short
- Every buyer we track pays Michigan companies. Published ranges run $100K to several million for 30+ people with years of records.
- Briggs Analytics estimate for a 50-person Michigan company with ten years of records: $190,000 to $590,000, by industry.
- Michigan law leaves internal operating records to the contract. Your lawyer reads it.
Questions owners ask.
Can a Michigan company sell its data to AI companies?
Yes. Every buyer we track licenses de-identified operating records from U.S. companies, Michigan included. Customer and employee personal data stays out, and the agreement sets what the buyer can do.
How much do Michigan companies get paid for their data?
Published buyer ranges run from $100,000 to several million for a company with 30 or more people and a few years of records. The Briggs Analytics estimate for a 50-person Michigan company with ten years of records runs $190,000 to $590,000 across the industries above.
Does Michigan privacy law stop a data license?
Michigan has no law that addresses a license of de-identified internal business records directly. The contract does the work. Ask your lawyer.
Do I have to be near Philadelphia to work with Briggs Analytics?
