Can you sell business data when closing a company?

Last updated 2026-11-11

Yes. Buyers run dedicated programs for companies that are shutting down, and they often move faster than in any other part of this market. A data license can sit alongside the sale of equipment and the collection of receivables. The key is to value the archive before servers are wiped.

A wound down software startup licensed its codebase and workspace data for $40K in a published 2026 transaction.
