For companies with 30+ employees

Your data, your terms.

AI companies pay mid-size businesses for everyday records like spreadsheets, invoices and procedures. Buyers pay our fee as a percentage of your deal, so our interests are aligned: the stronger your offer, the more we both earn.

How it works

Four steps. We're on your team. You stay in control.

AI companies use real business records to teach their software how everyday work gets done.

  1. 1

    Talk with us

    Tell us your team size, the software you use and roughly how many files you have. We scope your data to see what's valuable and what's sellable.

  2. 2

    Give us the OK to look for buyers

    A short consent form, no contract. It lets us look for buyers and share your company's details with a buyer we find. Your files stay with you.

  3. 3

    We bring you offers

    We look for interested buyers, bring their offers to you and push for the strongest terms we can get.

  4. 4

    You choose, and sign directly with the buyer

    You pick the offer that works for you, if any. Nothing is shared without your OK.

Records

Common records we can help with

The everyday records mid-size companies already keep. Below are a few of the more than 100 apps where they commonly live.

Documents, spreadsheets & wikis

Order and inventory sheets, invoices, purchase orders, procedures and internal wikis: the written record of how your company works.

Sales & customer records

Accounts, deals, orders and support history, plus the proposals, quotes, pitch decks and signed contracts behind them.

Finance, HR & ERP

Billing, purchasing, inventory, payroll and scheduling records from your accounting, ERP and HR systems.

Process & system logs

Order, shipment, inventory and machine histories from warehouse, transportation, ERP and factory-floor systems, plus the databases that hold them.

Code & technical expertise

Source code and commit history, plus CAD drawings, spec sheets, and quality and safety records: specialist know-how built up over years.

Email, chat & meetings

Business email, chat threads and meeting records, only if you choose to include them.

Files from your shared drives, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive or file server all count. Nothing new to create.

Every offer, checked from your side.

What we look out for when we review an offer with you.

  • Ownership and the rights you keepWho owns the data after the deal and what you can still do with it.
  • How the data may be usedWhat the buyer may use your records for, and whether they can pass them on to anyone else.
  • De-identificationWhether your license requires the buyer to remove names, contact details and account numbers before your data is used.
  • ExclusivityWhether the deal is exclusive, for how long, and what it would stop you from doing.
  • What's sharedYou pick the folders and file types. If it isn't listed in your contract, it isn't part of the deal.
  • Licensing again next yearWhether you can license new records again next year, to the same buyer or to another.

Frequently asked questions

Why would anyone pay for my company's files?

AI companies are building software that does office and operations work. To learn that, it needs examples of how real businesses operate, and public websites don't have them. Records from companies like yours are hard to find, so buyers pay for them.

How much is my data worth?

What your company receives depends mostly on its size, the type, depth and volume of your data, and what AI companies need at the time. Deals for companies with 50–200 employees could reach six figures. We'll give you an estimate after our first call, before you commit to anything.

What does it cost me?

Nothing. You never pay us, upfront or later. Buyers pay our fee, a percentage of the deal. You see every offer we bring you.

When do I get paid?

Payment terms are set out in your license agreement with the buyer before you sign. When and how you're paid is up to the buyer and is spelled out in that agreement.

Who will I be licensing to?

One or more established AI data companies, depending on which offers you accept. You sign each license directly with the buyer, and each contract names who they are, how they may use the data and what you're paid.

Can the data be traced back to my customers or employees?

Removing identifying details, such as names, contact information and account numbers, is the buyer's job under the license you sign with them. That license is between your company and the buyer; Fresh Coast isn't a party to it. Have your attorney confirm the de-identification terms before you sign.

Do I need technical staff?

No. If you can find the files on your company drive, that's enough. We'll help you work out which files matter.

Who owns the data?

You do. A deal grants a license to specific records for an agreed use; it doesn't transfer ownership. Your company keeps its originals and remains the owner.
