How we collect data

AcquireEU connects directly to official insolvency registries, national gazettes, and court databases across Europe. We do not rely on third-party data resellers — every record is sourced from the authoritative government publication for that country.

Our scraper runs daily at 2am UTC, fetching the latest filings and updating our database automatically. Each company record links directly to the original source filing so you can verify details independently.
