The four routes, side by side
Typical patterns, not guarantees. Timings depend on the data, the buyer and how quickly rights can be confirmed.
02 / Honest advice
When you shouldn't use a broker
A broker earns its fee by finding more buyers and handling the work. If neither helps you, don't pay for it.
- You already have competing offers and in-house lawyers who've licensed data before. Go direct.
- You're under about 25 staff or hold under two years of records. Most buyers won't bite yet, so wait.
- You sell a structured data product that many customers buy repeatedly, such as prices or listings. A marketplace suits that better.
- You can't confirm you own the data, or it's mostly client-confidential. Fix that first, with your lawyer.
