For advisors
Company data licensing for advisors
Founders, CFOs, investors, lawyers, accountants, insolvency practitioners, brokers, and private equity teams each have a different job around a data license. You get who signs, what to tell the company, and what Vetrix will not pay you for. The company signs with the data partner. You do not, unless you are already an authorized signatory of that company.
All advisor pages
Open the role that matches the job you actually have. The company still sends its own enquiry.
Founders
Options for founders shutting down a startup. What a founder decides, and why the company is the signer.
CFOs
A CFO guide to winding down a company. What a CFO should confirm about cost, payment, and the read-only check.
Investors
Portfolio company wind-down for VCs. Portfolio-company wind-downs for VCs. The company signs, not the fund.
Wind-down lawyers
Recovering value for clients in a company dissolution. What a dissolution lawyer flags about records, beside the legal work.
Accountants
Helping clients close a business. What an external accountant checks. A license does not replace the books.
Insolvency practitioners

Business brokers
Options for a business that didn't sell. What a broker tells a seller after a listing does not sell. No referral fee.
Private equity
Monetizing portfolio company data. Operating portfolio companies. The OpCo signs. The license belongs in exit diligence.
Who signs
The company signs the data license. Your role is to enquire, review, introduce, or confirm authority.
You sign an NDA and the licensing agreement, directly with the data partner, not with Vetrix. We tell the company the data partner's name before anyone signs. Making the introduction, holding a board seat, preparing the books, or running a listing does not put you on the signature block. You sign only when you are already an authorized signatory of that company. A job title does not create that authority. Being asked for help does not either.
A founder may send the enquiry and still signs only for the company. A CFO may be the officer who signs, and still signs for the company. A lawyer reviews the paper. An accountant keeps the books the final return needs. A broker introduces the seller. A fund does not sign for a portfolio company, and a holdco signature is not assumed for an operating company. An office-holder confirms authority before using the company's name on the form.
The cost to the company is nothing. The data partner pays Vetrix's fee, not you. If no agreement is signed, nobody pays anything. Personal details stay out of the copy. Personal details are removed before anything leaves your company. You can hold back anything else too.
No public referral fee
Vetrix does not pay a referral fee. There is no commission, no partner tier, and no rate to quote to a client. An introduction does not earn a percentage, a carry, or a sourcing fee. If a fee is ever agreed in a separate writing, that writing is the only place it exists.
The company that owns the records submits the enquiry. You can point the company at the form. You do not submit several companies in one enquiry, and you do not submit an enquiry in order to earn a fee. About 3 minutes. Nothing is shared or uploaded. A fund or a firm with several companies sends one enquiry per company.
Write to team@vetrixlabs.ai if you need to ask about a client before the company uses the form. That address is not a fee schedule.

Questions about advisors and data licensing
Does Vetrix pay advisors a referral fee?
No. Vetrix does not pay a referral fee. There is no public commission, no partner tier, and no rate to quote to a client. If a fee is ever agreed in a separate writing, that writing is the only place it exists. An introduction does not earn a percentage, a carry, or a sourcing fee. The company that owns the records submits the enquiry. You do not submit it in order to earn a fee.
Who signs the data license, the advisor or the company?
The company signs with the data partner. The advisor does not, unless the advisor is also an authorized signatory of that company, which you should not assume from a job title. Founders, lawyers, accountants, brokers, funds, and office-holders each have a role that is narrower than signing. Read the role that matches your job. The agreement is company to company. We tell the company the data partner's name before anyone signs.
Which advisor page should I open?
Pick the job you actually have. Founders who are shutting a company down are not the same readers as CFOs inside the company, or as accountants outside it. Venture investors looking at a wind-down are not the private-equity team running an operating portfolio. Dissolution lawyers advise. Insolvency practitioners may control assets and still must confirm authority. Brokers introduce a seller after a failed sale.
Can I send several companies in one enquiry?
No. One company per enquiry. A fund with several wind-downs sends several enquiries. A firm with several operating companies does the same. There is no batch upload. Each company has its own signer, its own systems, and its own fit decision. The form takes about three minutes and uploads nothing. You can point the company at the form. The company submits it.
