Free tools for closing or selling a company
These are free tools for closing or selling a company: a payout estimate, an eligibility check, a deletion clock, a records inventory, an exit options quiz, a wind-down checklist, and a WARN Act checker. Each one runs in your browser. The rules it uses are written beside the tool. Nothing you type into a tool is sent to us, and closing the tab drops the figures you tried.
All free tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Estimate | US payout bands by staff at peak, and the estimator that uses them. |
| Eligibility | Staff, records, daily-use systems, and the right to license, plus a checker. |
| Deletion clock | Export-by and data-gone-by dates, or the vendor's deletion rule in words. |
| Records inventory | A spreadsheet of each system, years of records, peak headcount, data rights, and client data to clear. |
| Which exit option is right for my company | Seven questions return a reading list of one to three pages. Nothing is stored. |
| Closing checklist | Ordered closing tasks for one US state. |
| WARN Act checker | Likely WARN coverage from the thresholds. Not a determination. |
What stays in the browser
Nothing you type into a widget is sent to us. The calculation runs in the browser, and the result stays in your browser. The widget does not write to localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, or a cookie. Closing the tab drops the figures you tried. There is no account for these tools, and we do not keep a copy of what you typed.
The only way to send company information is the application form. That form is a normal link, and it sits outside the widget. You open it when you choose to apply. Until you do, the numbers you try in a tool remain on your computer. The form is how an enquiry starts. A widget cannot submit it for you.
The Vetrix privacy notice promises no cookies and no analytics. These tools do not add either. A widget does not call a measurement endpoint, and it does not send the numbers you enter. The rules sit beside the tool, in the tables under it, so you can read them with JavaScript off.
Where the figures come from
Each tool prints the table it calculates from, so the table and the widget cannot disagree. You can read that table with JavaScript off. The widget uses the same table. It does not keep a second set of rules where you cannot see them.
Estimates come from Vetrix's payout tiers. The bands are written on the payout estimate, and the widget uses those bands. Eligibility comes from the staff, records, systems, and rights rules. Those rules are written on the eligibility check, and the widget uses them. A tool does not invent a third source for either result.
A deletion date comes from the window on the vendor's own page. The tool does not guess a date, and it does not fill a gap with a round number. In the records inventory, copy a date in after you have one. Leave the cell empty until you do.
For a vendor's own window, read what happens to company data when you cancel software.
One path, when the records can be licensed, is how to sell company data.
Which tool to use
If you are not sure the company qualifies, start with the eligibility check. It walks the staff, records, systems, and rights rules and shows which ones your answers meet. The result is a fit check against those rules. It is not an offer, and it does not set a price.
If you want a range from the tiers, use the payout estimate. You enter staff at peak, and the result is the band for that count. The band is a ceiling for that size. It is not a quote, and it is not a market price.
If you are about to cancel subscriptions, export each system while you still have administrator access. Write down the date the data is due to be gone. Leave the cell empty until you have that date. Canceling first can close the export. None of these tools runs the export for you. Make the list of systems before you click cancel in the vendor's admin.
When will my software data be deleted after canceling? Check that before you cancel the subscription.

Questions about these tools
What free tools can we use when closing or selling a company?
The free tools, in order, are the payout estimate, eligibility check, deletion clock, records inventory, exit options quiz, wind-down checklist, and WARN Act checker. The table lists each one and what it does. None of them asks you to create an account. Each one runs in your browser, and the rules it uses are written beside the tool. Open the row that matches the job you have.
Do these tools upload our company data?
No. A widget does not send company information to Vetrix, and it does not store that information on the device. Nothing is written to localStorage, sessionStorage, or a cookie. The application form is separate, and it is the only submission. The Vetrix privacy notice covers how an enquiry is handled. Read what stays in the browser before you type a figure into a tool.
Which tool should we use before we cancel software?
Use the deletion clock before you cancel a subscription. Pick the system and the cancellation date, then read the export-by and data-gone-by dates from the vendor's window. Export before you cancel. The tool does not export for you. If you cancel first, the vendor may close the admin path you needed. Write the date down, then take the export while the login still works.
Is the payout estimate the same as a market price?
No. The payout estimate uses Vetrix's tiers for a staff count. It is not a market price, and it is not an offer. A market report gathers public deal figures, which is a different kind of number. Use the estimate when you want the range those tiers produce. The eligibility check does not set that range. Public prices are collected on the price index.
