Austral

For debtor attorneys

Non-dilutive cash for your client's turnaround.

Austral works in a partnership model alongside counsel and the owner, helping the company license its data assets to US-based AI companies after privacy review. No fees to the business.

Why it fits a reorganization

A license, not a sale of the business

The company licenses historical records, such as email archives, tickets and CRM data. The business and its operations are not part of the transaction, and no equipment is sold.

No new debt, no equity dilution

The cash comes from an asset the company already holds. There are no fees to the business, because Austral is compensated by the buyer side.

Operations continue

The work centers on exports and review of historical records, so day-to-day operations are not disrupted.

The client's experience

Buyers are US-based AI labs, US public companies and US-regulated AI businesses that Austral trusts. The specific buyer depends on the assets.

  1. Step 1: One call

    A 30-minute conversation with the owner and counsel.

  2. Step 2: A scoped list of systems

    Austral proposes the systems that hold saleable data assets. The company decides which are included.

  3. Step 3: Privacy review

    Personal and sensitive information is reviewed and removed before any sale. A specialist will contact the company to run the review, and the company decides how information is anonymized.

  4. Step 4: A license agreement

    With a US-based buyer, reviewed by counsel and approved by the court where required.

  5. Step 5: Payment

    The company receives the license fee.
