How it works

The workflow is simple: capture the filing, standardize the information, then make it useful for sourcing and outreach.

1. Capture

AcquireEU checks official registries and gazettes across Europe every day for new filings.

2. Standardize

Notices are translated, normalized by stage and country, and structured into one searchable database.

3. Act

Your team filters, saves, exports, and alerts on the situations worth pursuing first.

Common questions

How do I buy a bankrupt company in Europe?
Contact the appointed insolvency practitioner listed on the filing. They manage the sale process, accept offers, and handle legal transfer. AcquireEU gives you practitioner names, firms, and contact details for filings across 29 European countries so you can reach out directly.
What is a pre-pack liquidation sale?
A pre-pack is a sale agreed before formal insolvency proceedings begin, then executed immediately after appointment of an administrator. It preserves business value and jobs by avoiding a prolonged public sale. Pre-packs are common in the UK, Netherlands, and increasingly across the EU.
What is the difference between administration and liquidation?
Administration protects a company from creditors while a rescue or sale is attempted. Liquidation winds down the company and sells its assets to repay creditors. For buyers, administration usually offers better-quality assets because the business may still be operating.
How do I find distressed companies for sale in Europe?
Monitor official insolvency registries across European countries. AcquireEU aggregates filings from 29 national registries daily, including Companies House, BODACC, and Insolvenzbekanntmachungen. Filter by country, sector, and insolvency stage to find relevant opportunities.
Which European countries have the most insolvency filings?
France, the UK, and Germany consistently lead in filing volume. Finland, Slovenia, and Portugal also show significant activity. AcquireEU publishes a weekly European Distress Report with country-level breakdowns and week-over-week trends from official registry data.
How do insolvency practitioners sell company assets?
Practitioners typically run a structured sale process: marketing the opportunity, collecting expressions of interest, inviting offers, and selecting a preferred bidder. Timelines vary by jurisdiction — UK administrations often complete in weeks, while French procedures may take months.
Where does the data come from?
AcquireEU tracks official government registries and gazettes across 29 European countries, including Companies House, BODACC, BOE, and Insolvenzbekanntmachungen. The goal is primary-source coverage, not third-party aggregation.
How much does distressed M&A deal sourcing cost?
AcquireEU starts at EUR 99 per month for individual access to all 29 countries with daily filings, practitioner contacts, and CSV export. Team plans at EUR 299 per month add multiple seats, daily alerts, and deeper company enrichment. Both include a 14-day free trial.
What is a voluntary arrangement in the UK?
A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) lets a company repay creditors over time while continuing to trade. It requires approval from 75% of creditors by value. CVAs are common in retail and hospitality. AcquireEU tracks CVAs alongside administrations and liquidations.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Both plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You get full access to browse filings, set filters, save companies, and export data during the trial.
