Fees

Paid from the sale, or not at all. By the holder, not by a buyer.

Valuing your data, describing it, the fit report, the rights checklist and the datasheet cost nothing. Only the holder pays us, a fee fixed in the mandate, and only if a sale closes. In a sale we run no buyer pays us, so our fee depends on what you are paid, not on which buyer pays it. A buyer pays us only if you choose to apply to it through its own referral programme, and you see that amount before you choose.

The scale

A percentage of what you are actually paid, band by band, the way sale advisers are paid.

The fee scale, band by band
What you are paid	Our fee
The first $250,000	15%
From $250,000 to $1 million	10%
Everything above $1 million	6%
If nothing sells	Nothing

What that comes to

The fee falls as a share of the sale as the sale grows.

Work it out for your sale

The buyer pays the holder

What this buyer pays whoever introduces a holder

The holder pays us: $42,500
The holder keeps: $257,500 (85.8%)
The buyer pays us: Nothing
An introducer earns (one third of $42,500): $14,167

A buyer's fee for introductions is declined, and asked for in your price.

Several buyers pay whoever introduces a holder. In a sale we run we decline that money, tell you beside each offer what that buyer pays introducers where it publishes it or tells us, and ask it to put that amount into your price instead. If you choose instead to apply to one buyer through its own referral programme, that buyer pays us its published payout as well as our fee, and you see the amount in writing before you choose. An adviser who keeps that money is paid by the other side of your sale, and earns most by steering you to the buyer that pays introducers best, not the one that pays you best. Two offers for the same data:

Buyer A offers $300,000 and pays $50,000 to whoever introduces a holder.: You keep $257,500We earn $42,500
Buyer B offers $320,000 and pays introducers nothing.: You keep $275,500We earn $44,500
Buyer A, asked to put its $50,000 into the price instead, offers $350,000.: You keep $302,500We earn $47,500

An agent that keeps introduction fees would earn $50,000 by steering you to buyer A against $44,500 from buyer B: paid more for the offer that leaves you $18,000 less. We earn more only when you are paid more.

The terms of a mandate: short, and the same for everyone

2 months

Exclusive

For that time we alone take the data named in the mandate to buyers. A process with several buyers cannot be run by two agents at once.

12 months

Tail

If you sell to a buyer we introduced within that time after the mandate ends, the fee still applies, but only to a buyer on the list we send you within 10 business days after the mandate ends.

On a buyer you already talk to

A buyer you were already talking to, listed when you sign, stays yours: while you deal with it yourself, no fee is due on that sale. Beyond them we approach every buyer whose rules fit, first without your name, and you can leave any of them out.

$26,000

Where we start

We take a mandate when we expect a sale of at least this size. Below it we name buyers or marketplaces whose published rules may suit a smaller sale, so you can go to one yourself.

If you are buying, or bringing us a holder

If you are buying

Posting a request is free. Data sourced from a holder is paid for under the licence you sign with that holder. Made-to-order work is quoted per request.

If you introduce a holder

You earn one third of our fee on that holder's sales that close within 12 months of the day the introduction is registered.
