Initial conversation
Provide a high-level view of your business, its operating history and the kinds of workflows you document. Keep all information non-confidential.
OUR PROCESS
A clear role. A considered process.
NAVO researches, qualifies and introduces. Data owners and buyers retain control of evaluation, permissions and commercial decisions.
THE COMPANY JOURNEY
From operating history to opportunity.
Preliminary fit
NAVO considers indicative relevance against suitable buyer requirements. This is an initial suitability review, not legal diligence or a valuation.
Informed consent
An authorised representative decides whether to explore a proposed introduction and what high-level company information may be shared.
Commercial introduction
Where mutually appropriate, NAVO connects the parties through the agreed buyer and attribution procedures.
Direct buyer evaluation
You and the buyer decide the evaluation scope, verify rights, agree protections and determine whether a licensing transaction should proceed.
THE BUYER JOURNEY
From acquisition criteria to conversation.
Define the brief
Outline the sectors, geographies, scale, history and workflow categories relevant to your acquisition strategy.
Agree the sourcing scope
Establish qualification signals, exclusions, introduction procedures, attribution and any commercial arrangements in writing.
Research and engage
NAVO identifies potentially suitable companies using legitimate sources, then engages relevant decision-makers professionally.
Review a qualified opportunity
Receive a concise profile and an introduction only where the company has agreed to engage. Decide whether it merits evaluation.
Lead diligence and contracting
Conduct legal and technical diligence with the data owner. Any licence, transfer, payment or referral compensation follows applicable written agreements.
RESPONSIBILITY AT EVERY STAGE
Clear boundaries.
Shared understanding.
Each party has a distinct role. An introduction does not replace legal, privacy or technical diligence.
| PARTY | RESPONSIBILITY |
|---|---|
| NAVO Sourcing | Company research, preliminary qualification, consent-led introductions and agreed commercial coordination. |
| Data owner | Deciding whether to engage; identifying authority, ownership, permissions, confidentiality obligations and restrictions. |
| AI-data buyer | Deciding whether to evaluate; assessing relevance and technical quality; agreeing lawful scope, processing and commercial terms. |
| Authorised advisers | Legal, privacy and technical diligence for the parties they represent, as required by the proposed arrangement. |
Any licensing, data transfer, payment or referral compensation is subject to written agreements and applicable rules. NAVO does not independently determine data rights or guarantee a buyer’s security, anonymisation results or a transaction outcome.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clarity from
the outset.
When is company information shared with a buyer?
NAVO seeks informed consent from an authorised representative before making an introduction or sharing the agreed non-confidential company profile. Any later restricted disclosure requires arrangements between the relevant parties.
Who handles contracts and data transfer?
The data owner, buyer and their authorised advisers handle evaluation, licensing agreements, lawful processing and any transfer. NAVO may coordinate commercial communication within an agreed scope.
Can a company decline after an introduction?
Yes. An introduction is an opportunity to evaluate, not an obligation to license. Subsequent rights and obligations depend on the agreements the parties choose to enter.
How are commercial fees handled?
Any sourcing, referral or introduction compensation must be set out in a written agreement with appropriate attribution and payment conditions. An initial conversation does not itself create a fee obligation.
What should we prepare for an initial discussion?
A non-confidential overview of your business or acquisition requirements, your role and your preferred work contact. Do not send datasets or sensitive internal records.
