The full process

From first reply to payment.

Nothing leaves your systems until the final license is signed. You can stop at any step and owe nothing.

1. Phase 1

   Profile and mandate

   You share headcount, years of records, systems and status. No files. We confirm fit and you sign a short sell-side mandate: we represent you, the buyer pays our fee at close.

2. Phase 2

   Anonymous buyer quotes

   We register an anonymous profile with two to three buyers. They see counts and date ranges only, never content, and return indicative prices you can compare side by side.

3. Phase 3

   Rights review and negotiation

   Licensing counsel reviews ownership and client or partner agreements. We map each system, sort records into include and withhold, and negotiate price, permitted use, exclusivity term, liability caps and payment timing.

4. Phase 4

   De-identification and delivery

   Your IT contact exports the agreed scope to the buyer's de-identification partner. We check the de-identified sample and the written record of what was removed before anything is released.

5. Phase 5

   Payment

   Paid on delivery or from escrow, per the license. We track the payment to your account. Your originals never leave your hands.
