How we make money
How this site is paid, and when that relationship matters to your decision.
Winding Down Guide helps owners and boards plan a company closure. We refer companies whose records may qualify to an AI data buyer through a referral link. Using this site costs you nothing.
The buyer pays us a referral fee only after a company we refer has its data transferred and approved.
We have a financial interest in approved referrals. Our articles and checker may direct you to the buyer’s site through our referral link.
Approval and payment are separate from a click
A visit, checker result or application does not mean a company has been approved. Our fee depends on an approved referral and a completed data transfer. We do not earn it merely because someone registers or signs a contract.
Company acceptance, licensing scope and payment terms are settled between the company and the buyer. Only the buyer can quote terms for your company, and we publish no price list. We do not guarantee acceptance, a particular price or a payment date.
Your decision
Use the guides to organize the closure work regardless of whether you pursue a license. A buyer’s program will not fit every company. The data licensing guide for closed companies explains what a closed company can license, who can sign for it and the questions to resolve before sharing records.
We do not submit applications on a company’s behalf. Apply directly through the intended route if you decide to proceed, after identifying the authorized representative and reviewing the proposed terms.
Next steps
Read about this site for our editorial approach and the privacy page before submitting checker answers or an optional email. Keep any decision to license records separate from the other approvals needed to finish closing the business.
