Anonymisation

Your clients and staff stay anonymous.

Every name becomes a number, and the thread of the work stays readable. The buyer removes names before any use, and is barred by contract from identifying anyone.

Never part of the licence

  • Private messages

    Only team channels are covered.

  • Health data

    Sick leave and occupational health records stay with you.

  • Bank details

    Account and card numbers are deleted, like names.

  • Confidential files

    Anything under professional privilege or a confidentiality agreement stays out of scope.

Why your records have value

The major AI labs want real business data.

Their models have read the public web and hundreds of thousands of books. To work inside companies, they must learn your trade: a deal followed from request to invoice. Your software holds these deals, and the licence hands over a copy without the names.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

+33 6 36 06 64 16 contact@arbitragecapitalgroup.com
Am I selling my company or my records?

Neither. You grant a right of use over a copy of some records, for a set period. You keep your original files, your company and your clients.

How are you paid?

By the chosen buyer, once the licence is signed: a commission as a percentage of its value. You pay us nothing, at any stage.

Is it legal?

Yes. The licence follows data protection law, including the GDPR in Europe and the UK: client and staff names are removed, your staff are informed, and sensitive data is excluded. Your lawyer reviews the licence before signing.

Do my employees need to be told?

In most cases, yes, depending on your country. Your lawyer sets out the steps before signing. Staff names are removed from the copy, like client names.

Who can use my records?

Only the signing buyer, for the use written into the licence. The licence also sets what is forbidden, such as resale. You can rule out a buyer before your file is presented.

How long does it take?

An offer usually arrives one to two weeks after the review of your records, and funding two to six months after the first call.

What if no buyer is interested?

Nothing leaves your company and you pay nothing. We tell you on the first call, and explain why.

Can I license my records to several buyers?

It depends on the exclusivity the buyer asks for. An exclusive licence reserves your records to one buyer for its term; a non-exclusive licence leaves you free to sign others.

I am preparing to sell my company.

The licence will show up in the acquirer’s due diligence, and its term can end on the planned sale date. We can also refer you for the sale itself.
