What is a data partnership?
Our data partner buys an agreed, de-identified copy of records your company owns, for AI research and training. Better Data is how Better Business introduces you, walks you through it and keeps a Better Professional in your corner.
Who fits best?
Companies and nonprofits with several years of records they own and teams based mostly in the United States. Typical thresholds are 20+ full-time office staff, 10+ for accounting firms and 6+ for law firms.
Do we give up ownership of our data?
No. You keep every original and every system. The partner buys the filtered copy, and the written agreement sets its scope and any exclusivity.
Can we choose which systems and dates are included?
Yes. The scope is agreed with you and reviewed before anything is exported. You can exclude mailboxes, channels, folders, date ranges or whole systems.
Do we have to change how we operate?
No. Nothing about your tools, workflows or accounts changes, and nobody on your team has to do anything differently.
How is sensitive information handled?
Sensitive material is removed, and identifiers such as names, contact details, account numbers and voices are removed or transformed before the copy is used. Bank, card and tax numbers never leave.
Do AI developers see our unfiltered records?
No. Only the filtered, de-identified copy.
Will our records be made public?
Source records are not published, and no reports about your company are sold.
How is the offer decided?
The calculator is illustrative. The written offer follows a review of your systems, years of history, record volume and quality, and ownership and access terms.
How and when are we paid?
Payment amount and schedule are set in the written agreement before any export. There is no broker fee, and nothing is owed to Better Business by you.
How long does it take?
About twelve weeks from the first conversation to payment, depending on scope, rights review, contracting and export.
What does Better Business get?
A referral fee from our data partner when a partnership closes. It never comes out of your payout.
