How it works
From curiosity to a decision, without touching your data.
01 · You · a few minutes
Estimate
Answer questions about your team, the systems you use and how long you've used them. You see an illustrative range straight away. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is binding.
02 · You and Octet
Fit call
We confirm your answers, walk through what kind of records buyers value, and flag anything that needs a closer look, such as client contracts or regulated data. You ask anything you like.
03 · Octet
Buyer match
Buyers' needs differ and change over time. We recommend the buyer whose current requirements fit your records, and tell you who it is before anything happens.
04 · With your go-ahead
Introduction
We introduce you to one buyer at a time and register the referral, so you never grant the same rights twice.
05 · You and the buyer
Review and offer
The buyer reviews your systems with you, sets the price and proposes an agreement. De-identification is typically handled by a specialist third party. Read every term with your counsel.
06 · You
Your decision
Accept, negotiate or walk away. If you go ahead, your team runs a one-time export under the buyer's agreement and the buyer pays you under its terms.
What Octet never does
- Ask for files, exports, passwords or logins
- Hold or forward your company's data
- Charge you a fee
- Introduce you to anyone without your go-ahead
- Promise a price, a buyer or a timeline
Good to know before you start
Don’t clean the data yourself
Hand-redacting records usually destroys the relationships that make them valuable. Leave de-identification to the specialists named in the buyer’s agreement.
Watch the exclusivity term
Fixed terms are common; perpetual ones are worth resisting. If you may sell the company, time the term to end before you do.
