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.
Washington software and aerospace-supplier records are among the most structured in the country, which shortens the buyer's review.

No intermediary publishes a Washington-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 Washington law says
My Health My Data Act (health data only). Washington has no comprehensive consumer privacy law as of October 2026, but the My Health My Data Act strictly governs consumer health data. Clinics and any company holding health-related consumer data should ask a lawyer before anything is licensed.
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 Washington 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 Washington companies. Published ranges run $100K to several million for 30+ people with years of records.
- Briggs Analytics estimate for a 50-person Washington company with ten years of records: $190,000 to $610,000, by industry.
- Washington law leaves internal operating records to the contract. Your lawyer reads it.
Questions owners ask.
Can a Washington company sell its data to AI companies?
Yes. Every buyer we track licenses de-identified operating records from U.S. companies, Washington included. Customer and employee personal data stays out, and the agreement sets what the buyer can do.
How much do Washington 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 Washington company with ten years of records runs $190,000 to $610,000 across the industries above.
Does Washington privacy law stop a data license?
Washington 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?
No. We work with owners in every state by email and phone. We are based in Philadelphia if you want to meet in person.
