For owners running established companies in the US

Sizing your records takes a few hours of yours.

You answer a few questions, take two or three calls and fill in a short inventory of the systems you use. If an export is needed, your IT person or provider runs it and Pewter coordinates. Nobody has to create new data or clean anything up.

A scenario, not a valuation. Many firms are offered less, and some receive no offer once their records are reviewed.

What leaves your premises

Identifying details are removed or replaced before delivery

Before delivery, identifying details are removed or swapped for consistent placeholders, preserving the work while protecting the people. An illustrative freight dispatch email appears below.

Every de-identification method leaves some risk. Before signing, you review both the process and a de-identified sample; regulated, privileged or third-party records may be excluded. Learn about our records process.

Questions to consider

Questions owners raise on their first call

Is this a genuine opportunity or just a pitch?

There is a real market. Our licensing partner says it has paid firms with 60 to 100 people $350,000 to $650,000; Google's $10 million winning bid for Spirit Airlines' records appears in a federal court filing. These transactions involved other firms, not us. You'll receive your offer in writing before making any commitment, and many firms receive offers below these amounts.

What would I pay?

Nothing at any point. When a deal closes, our licensing partner pays Pewter a fee. No deal means no fee.

What are your roles, and who is your client?

Pewter identifies and qualifies opportunities, assesses your records, presents the offer and coordinates the transaction. Our licensing partner makes the offer, signs the license with you and pays you. You'll know its identity before signing anything. Since the partner pays our fee, we aren't your lawyer or agent. We're neither a law firm nor a registered broker-dealer, and recommend that your own counsel review the agreement.

Will I still have my data?

Yes. The transaction licenses an agreed copy that is de-identified. Your original files stay yours, and your ownership is unchanged.

Could clients or employees be identified?

Before delivery, names, contact details, account numbers, credentials and payment details are removed or replaced. Regulated, privileged or third-party records may be left out. Since no method removes every risk, you review a sample and the process before signing. Our approach to records.

Who can access my records before I sign?

Only with your agreement. We may request a small sample to assess quality before an offer, and Pewter or the licensing partner may review it. You decide what to include and may decline. The full export takes place only after you've signed.

Who uses the data, and how?

Authorized AI developers use it to train and evaluate models, as set out in your agreement. The terms you approve specify exclusivity and permitted uses. Our free owner's guide, Before You Sell Your Data, covers terms and questions to resolve before signing.

How much time will my team need?

Plan for a few hours of your time: two or three calls, plus a brief inventory of your systems. If an export is required, your IT person or provider handles it with our coordination. No one needs to create new data or clean anything up.

What if I don't know what data we have?

That's true for most owners. Tell us which tools you've used over the years, such as email, shared drives and your accounting or operating system, and we'll work out what's there during the call. To estimate it yourself first, our free guide explains where to find the numbers in Google, Microsoft 365, Slack and a dozen other tools.

Why consider acting now?

Labs are purchasing today. One AI data company by itself has committed $1 billion for the next twelve months. The value is in the history you still hold: archives are deleted when subscriptions lapse or a firm winds down, and their value disappears.
