Company records, sold as a copy

Your business records have a market.

Several of the world's largest AI companies pay for years of real business records, because they can't be found online. You sell a masked copy and keep everything you have.

Illustrative example. You decide what goes on the sheet.

Three things drive the value

SystemsThe more systems you run, the higher the value. Breadth counts most.
PeopleThe more people you employ, the more activity is on record.
YearsThe more years on record, the more a buyer can learn from it.

How it works

From inventory to payment in four steps.

You decide at every stage. Nothing is transferred until a buyer has committed and the terms are agreed in writing.

What buyers want

You already have what they want.

Keep your records as they are, including drafts and reversed decisions. There is nothing to tidy up first.

Sales & customers

CRM and pipeline history, proposals, contracts, support tickets.

Operations & finance

ERP exports, procurement, inventory, invoicing, ledgers.

Communication

Slack or Teams archives, email, meeting notes, project threads.

Marketing & brand

Campaign files, briefs, brand guidelines, web content, analytics.

Process & people

SOPs, training material, management reporting, templates.

Everything else

Internal wikis and the working files in your shared drive.

The strongest package is your company drive as it stands. Breadth drives the price, and records that look unremarkable inside the business are often worth the most.

Your data, protected

What happens to your data.

You decide what is in scope. Anything you don't want to share, including whole systems or date ranges, simply stays out of the data inventory sheet.

Kept separate

The copy you send sits in its own secure cloud environment, never mixed with other sellers' data.

Original untouched

Your original copy is never altered. All masking runs on duplicates.

Identities removed

Names, emails, customers, vendors, addresses and account numbers are masked consistently across every system.

Masking tested

The masked data is tested thoroughly, including against public information, to make sure it can't be linked back to your company, staff or customers.

Common questions

What owners want to know.

Do we lose access to our data?

No. What is sold is a copy of the data. Your systems keep running as before.

Can sensitive data be removed?

Yes. Anything you don't want to share, including whole systems or date ranges, simply stays out of the data inventory sheet. Identifying details in the rest are masked.

Does it need tidying first?

No. Keep records as they are, including drafts and reversed decisions. Cleaning tends to lower the value.

When are we paid?

Within 60 days of your data being extracted, on the terms agreed at step 3.

How long does it take?

The data inventory sheet takes days. Once price and terms are agreed, extracting the data usually takes 48–72 hours.

Who are the buyers?

Several of the world's largest AI companies, building systems that learn from how real businesses operate. Buyer names are discussed directly with qualifying companies, not published.
