AI companies are paying operating businesses for the historical record of how work gets done — the estimate that became a job, the ticket that became a resolution, the load that became an invoice. We represent the owner.
We advise the owner. We are not the AI company. We do not take a license of your data.
AI data brokerage is the practice of licensing a cleaned, de-identified copy of an operating business’s historical records to AI companies that need real-world examples of how work gets done. The business owner retains every original record, every customer relationship, and the company itself. Only defined use rights are transferred, for a defined time, for a defined purpose. Main Street Wealth represents the owner on this transaction — we are not the buyer, not a marketplace, and we do not take a license of your data ourselves.
Historically, AI companies trained on publicly scraped text. That phase is ending. The frontier labs now want the chain that public text does not expose — the estimate that became a job, the ticket that became a resolution, the load that became an invoice, the matter that became a bill. Public text shows what work looks like from the outside. Your records show what work actually is.
A new intermediary market has emerged to source that record set. Marketplaces, data processors, and sales teams now call owners directly. Some of their ranges will not survive contact with a real file; some are higher than the owner expected. The counter-party is a sales team, and the form they bring is the counter-party’s form. We bring the owner’s form, the owner’s counsel, and two written quotes before any draft license.
The emerging market has marketplaces, buyers, processors, and sales teams. We play one role: your advisor.
A marketplace is incentivized by the clearing of any trade. We are incentivized only when the owner is paid, on terms the owner approved.
We do not take a license of your data. We do not re-sell your records. Export is from your own admin console directly to the buyer, after your written approval.
Our firm has been underwriting owner-side transactions in home services for seven years. The same discipline runs the data license: competitive process, written ranges, owner-approved every category.

What AI data licensing is, how it is structured, what rights change hands, and how it is different from selling the company.
AI companies do not just want text. They want the chain from estimate to invoice, from ticket to resolution, from load to payment. Here is what qualifies.
How buyers price operating records. Headcount sets the band; years, system diversity, and whether the chain from lead to cash is visible set the price inside it.
The vertical we know best. HVAC, plumbing, roofing, pest, landscaping, pool, electrical — each produces a specific kind of record that AI buyers price differently.
What stays out of the file. Vendor terms, customer and employee privacy, NDAs, trade secrets, third-party licensed content. The guardrails that make an engagement safe.
Six phases, four to eleven weeks on a typical file. Evaluation, engagement, outreach, negotiation, export, post-license. Every node mapped and clickable.
Published floors, disclosed deals, buyer appetite by vertical. Research the market before any outreach — and before any sales call that asks for your admin password.
Seven years of in-trade underwriting. The record categories AI buyers pay for the most are the ones field-services operators produce every day: the chain from estimate to work order to invoice, dispatch histories, technician notes, service-plan data.
A generalist advisor will not know a ServiceTitan export from a Housecall Pro export. We do.

Main Street Wealth LLC is an M&A advisor. We are not a buyer of your data, and we do not take a license of your data. We are not a data broker. We do not provide legal, tax, or privacy advice; your counsel reviews the advisory agreement and any license before signing. Published ranges reflect what buyers have said or published in public and are not offers. Nothing on this page is a recommendation to license, sell, or disclose any specific record.
