Common cost categories

Allow for export, storage, cleaning, quality review, privacy work, legal advice, secure transfer, intermediary fees and ongoing support. Some costs are fixed and some scale with volume.

Check the fee basis

An intermediary fee could apply to gross receipts, renewals, minimum commitments or other definitions. Read the written mandate and tail provisions rather than assuming a standard percentage.

Model your own assumptions

Use the scenario calculator with your own rate, cost and fee figures. This site charges no transaction fee and does not offer a paid brokerage service.

Use this as a preparation framework. It is not legal advice, a valuation or a promise that a buyer will accept your data.
