Company records licensing FAQ

A licence sets out permission to use specified records for agreed purposes. Read the proposed agreement for the permitted uses, restrictions, exclusivity and what happens when the licence ends.

There is no blanket clearance for every company or collection of records. Ownership, contractual restrictions, personal data and the applicable laws need their own review. Start with the country source guides below and take your own advice.

Check who owns the relevant rights and who has authority to act for that owner. Holding a copy does not settle rights in material created by clients, contractors or other third parties. Ask your adviser to review the proposed records and agreements.

Do not assume that it can. Personal data, confidential information and sensitive employee or HR records need separate consideration. The buyer's process handles consent and anonymisation; that process is not a substitute for your own legal review.

No. Check ownership, confidentiality, restrictions in existing contracts, lawful use and any relevant transfer requirements as well. A description of de-identification is not legal clearance for your records.

An authorised officeholder can consider a possible extra asset for creditors. Speak to the liquidator, administrator, trustee, receiver or former director with authority, not former staff. Personal data in insolvency estates needs its own lawful basis; your officeholder and the buyer decide.

No. Nordic MarTech is an independent referrer. We never hold, move, clean, value or sell your records. Do not include company records in an enquiry. Applications and any agreed record transfer take place directly with the buyer.

No. The browser-only fit check is an initial routing aid, not legal approval, an offer or a licensing agreement. Only the buyer can decide whether to proceed after its review.

No. Only the partner can value your records, in writing. Ranges are indicative, not offers.

Ask your own adviser to review the records covered, your authority, permitted uses, exclusivity, privacy safeguards, confidentiality, transfer arrangements and termination provisions. A source guide does not replace the signed agreement.
