Business data licensing

Your business has data AI companies value.

Running a business creates years of useful data—emails, documents and records of everyday work. We help you explore whether it could be licensed. You decide whether to proceed—no AI expertise needed.

No files to start. No upfront cost to explore. No obligation to license.

The opportunity, in brief.

Records you already have.

Emails, documents, customer questions and work histories show how your business gets things done.

We guide the process.

Tell us about your business. We stay your point of contact while our licensing partner describes the records and looks for interested buyers.

You keep ownership.

You choose whether to accept an offer. The buyer’s use is defined in an agreement you review and sign.

How a license takes shape.

You decide whether to take each step. We stay your point of contact; a separate licensing partner handles the profile and seeks buyer interest.

    Tell us about your business. No files or system access.

    Profile

    Agree to a profile built from descriptions of your records, then review its scope.

  3. 03

    Buyer interest

    Approve sharing an anonymized profile, without your company name, before our partner seeks bids.

  4. 04

    Your decision

    Review any offer and decide whether to accept it.

  5. 05

    Sign & deliver

    Signed offers are binding. You have 10 days to deliver; our broker and the buyer help you export.

Your records stay yours.

Vardmark and our licensing partner work with descriptions of your records, never their contents. The buyer receives records within the agreed scope, scrubs sensitive details, and sends only cleansed data to the AI lab.

No upfront cost. Clear terms before you decide.

You pay one success fee, collected by the broker only after you get paid. The percentage varies by deal. The fee and your net proceeds are agreed in writing before you commit. A buyer, payment or timeline is not guaranteed.

Curious what a license might be worth?

Try an illustrative range of $5,000–$15,000 per peak employee. It is not an offer or a valuation.

Use your highest employee count, not just today’s. What records you have and how far back they go affect actual offers. Unique data such as CAD, imaging, drone footage and video can price above this range. For more than 300 employees, ask for an individual assessment.

Illustrative gross range using $5,000–$15,000 per peak employee—not a valuation or evidence of completed deals. Record history, quality and buyer demand affect actual offers. The range excludes the success fee; it is not a net-proceeds estimate. Offers may differ or never arrive.
