Turn how your business works into an asset.

Your business may be sitting on a six-figure AI data asset.

AI companies pay serious money for how real businesses actually work. You already created the data by running the business. License & Data Bureau finds it, prepares it, and helps license it. We handle the buyers and the delivery.

From law firms and contractors to SaaS companies, financial services and hospitality, valuable operational history exists in almost every industry. Customer names and personal details do not go in the package. If you qualify, we get paid when you do.

Why LDB

Your business has been writing it down for years. That is now an asset.

The Slack thread. The Loom that never became a manual. The voice note after a job. The "ask Maria" message. For years it was just how the business ran. Stack enough of them, jobs, exceptions, outcomes, and you have a record labs cannot scrape off the internet. We turn that into a package a buyer can actually purchase.

You were just running the business

Nobody sat down to build a dataset. You were doing jobs, handling exceptions, showing people how the day runs. Years of that work is the asset.

We turn it into a package

One note is nothing. Years of workflows and processes, cleaned and structured, is what a buyer can actually purchase. We write what is missing, take out customer names, and get it ready. You stay the owner.

Not the customer list

How the work gets done. Not who your customers are. Names and personal details stay out of the package. Your lawyer can read the terms if they want.

Words we use, in plain English
A real deal

How a regional logistics firm turned five years of routing data into a six-figure asset.

They thought their value was in the trucks. But for AI companies building supply chain models, the real value was in the thousands of daily decisions their dispatchers made to route around weather, traffic, and delays.

We packaged five years of their anonymized routing logs, stripping out all customer and driver data. Within 90 days, we secured a licensing agreement that paid them a pure-profit dividend on work they had already completed.

Privacy and Rights

Your customers' personal data does not go in the package.

This is not a sale of your client list, patient file, or diner phone numbers. Buyers want how the work gets done, workflows, decisions, outcomes, after personal information is excluded. If your current terms are silent on this, our lawyers can read them and suggest language before anything is scoped.

Customer names stay out

Names, emails, phones, addresses, payment cards, medical or legal client files, and anything that identifies a customer are excluded or transformed. Credentials and secrets never belong in a licensable pack. You should not have to worry that privacy is "included."

Counsel will look at your terms

Most businesses have never written a clause about licensing operational history. We have lawyers who can review your current terms and conditions and recommend changes so you actually have the right to do this, or tell you if you do not.

Straight answers.

Yes. The history your business created by running: jobs, matters, estimates, tickets, decisions and outcomes. Not your customer list. We help you see whether any of it is worth licensing, and on what terms. You own it.
No. We write missing SOPs, inventory the records, take out customer names and personal details, and package what qualifies. You approve the scope.
No. You run the business. We handle the preparation, buyers, diligence and delivery.
No. A license is a defined grant to an agreed package. You keep the company, the systems and the underlying records.
No. Most will not qualify. A brand-new inbox is not an asset. Nine years of closed jobs might be. If it is not a licensing conversation, we will tell you.
