Who licenses the record?
A buyer Latopis introduces. We make the match and stay on the introduction. The buyer licenses the data from the company that produced it and pays that company. There is no listing.
Questions owners ask first.
What does it cost the company?
Nothing. No fee and no commission from the company. Money moves from the buyer to the company. Latopis is paid by the buyer only if a license closes.
How much do buyers pay?
Licenses typically land between $100K and $2M, and run higher for a long record. Years of operating history, and how much of the work is visible in the files, move the number more than raw volume.
When does the money arrive?
After the record is approved, shared, and anonymized. Buyers commonly pay net 30 to 60. They do not pay for a record they have not seen, so the review comes first.
Which companies qualify?
General contractors, trade contractors, fabricators, and suppliers with a real operating record. Buyers usually start around twenty full-time people. A long record can still fit below that. The length of the record matters more than headcount alone.
What happens to the data afterwards?
The buyer uses a defined license. You keep the business, the files, and the right to keep using them. Latopis does not publish which buyer took which record.
Why a buyer instead of a marketplace?
A marketplace lists the company and takes a cut when someone eventually buys. Here you get one introduction. A buyer reviews the record and makes one offer. Nothing is public.
Can I talk to someone before filling anything in?
Yes. Answer the three questions first, then we book the call. Someone reads the answers before the call, so it is shorter.
What counts as an operating record?
The working record of the company. Email, chat, shared drives, estimates, job files, photos from the field, shop drawings the company produced, and the books. Not drawings the project owner still owns.
Is the record anonymized before a buyer sees it?
Yes. Names, emails, phone numbers, and account numbers come off before a buyer sees the record. Nothing moves until you approve the scope.
Does someone review the record before paying?
Yes. The buyer reads a sample. That is how they price it, and why they do not pay for something they have not seen.
What does the license cover?
Defined material for a defined term. It does not cover records you hold for your own clients as their agent. You keep the business, the data, and the right to keep using it.
