Who it’s for

Who is BizBuyData by Mode’s data program for?

Mode’s owner page lists 6+ employees for legal firms, 10+ for accounting, finance and medical, and 30+ for other businesses or nonprofits, with several years of records and primarily US teams. Its referral page instead lists 10+, 15+ and 50+, respectively, in the US, Canada, UK or Australia. These differences remain unresolved; confirm the applicable route.

Illustrative preparation example: a 12-person accounting firm could describe five years of project emails and reconciliations without sending client files. It falls between the two published thresholds, making eligibility the first question—not a reason to assume referral qualification.

Get prepared

What should you prepare?

Prepare a short inventory before sharing records. Start with descriptions and counts, then agree on any sample.

  • Systems: List email, shared drives and operating tools with the dates each covers.
  • Authority: Identify who can approve a license and which records belong to customers or other parties.
  • Exclusions: Mark sensitive categories and archives that cannot be included.
  • Decision team: Choose an owner, IT contact and agreement reviewer.

Use our data preparation guide to turn that inventory into a first conversation.

Revenue & payments

How does payment work?

Data-owner payments and process

Mode reviews the business, agrees systems and dates, exports and de-identifies the approved copy, and pays under written terms. The owner retains originals. Its calculator is illustrative; the agreement sets price and timing before export. Owner program details.

Separate public referral program

The BizBuyData page advertises the greater of $50,000 or 6% for the first five qualified US direct referrals; outside the US it states 6% without a minimum. The percentage uses license fees actually paid, excluding taxes and reimbursements. Payment follows transaction completion and agreement eligibility.

Accounts provide personal links, introductions and tracking. Attribution is reviewed; account creation does not reserve credit. These are referrer rewards, not the data owner’s license income. Higher tiers and secondary referrals have separate conditions. This site uses direct official links, with no owner-supplied Mode tracking URL.

Rights & control

Which licensing terms deserve attention?

Ask for the proposed license before treating an estimate as an offer. Our licensing-model guide explains the decisions to compare.

  • Which systems, date ranges and permitted uses are included?
  • What may be excluded, and who approves the final sample?
  • What exclusivity or resale rights survive the agreement?
  • Which acceptance milestones trigger payment, and what deductions apply?

When should you compare another platform?

Compare Pewter Data for an intermediary-led process and Replay for another company-data option. Compare the actual agreement and net payment, not headline estimates.

Good questions, clear answers

Questions before you apply

Is BizBuyData a separate company-data buyer?

The official page presents BizBuyData as a program by Mode. Keep the owner transaction and referral agreement separate.

What should a referral introduction contain?

As an editorial starting point, describe the company and ask permission for an introduction. Do not attach its confidential records to a referral.
