For business owners

Readiness guide


Answer five questions about the business. The guide restates the profile you enter and the practical next step. It does not price any records, and it does not decide whether a buyer will say yes.

Readiness guide—not a valuation or eligibility decision.

Belo Business Advantage is an independent referral partner. It is not part of Mode or micro1, and it does not speak for them.

It costs your business nothing. We are paid by the data buyer, never by you, and only if a deal goes through.

Five questions

What you type stays in this browser tab. This page does not send your answers, save them, or set a cookie. There is no account and no upload. Once every answer is usable, the summary below updates. You can also use Show my readiness guide.

  1. Choose the closest line of work. The label describes the business. It is not a decision.

  2. People who do the work primarily at a desk, full time. Enter 0 if there are none. Use a whole number.

  3. People who do the work primarily away from a desk, full time. Enter 0 if there are none. Use a whole number.

  4. Enter 0 if there are none. Zero means eligible records are still needed. Use a whole number.

  5. A region other than the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia has to be confirmed by the buyer. This page cannot confirm it.

What can be discussed

This page does not take files, and it does not open your systems. A later conversation is limited to documentation the business is allowed to share.

Authorized, business-owned, nonconfidential documentation only

  • Documentation the business owns
  • Documentation the business is authorized to discuss
  • Documentation that is nonconfidential

Leave these out

  • Client privileged files
  • Medical files
  • Tax files
  • Policyholder files
  • Customer devices
  • Customer projects
  • Third-party materials without rights

Your own advisor reviews rights. The buyer reviews too. If there is no deal, there is no payment. Belo Business Advantage does not give legal, tax, or privacy advice.

What to do next

Use one of these paths. Acceptance and any offer are up to the buyer. This page does not decide either one.

Start with Mode and Start with micro1 use the referral links for this introduction. They do not open a calculator.
