Acquisitions

Find a company to acquire: criteria, a company page, a list you follow

Idonis filters Belgian companies by activity, location, size, profitability and estimated value, then follows the ones you keep.

The criteria

  • Activity: NACE code or keywords, main activity only if you wish.
  • Location: region, province, postcode, or a municipality and a radius in kilometres. Companies with an establishment in the area are found as well.
  • Size and profitability: published or estimated revenue, EBITDA, equity, headcount, age of the company.
  • Financial strength: Idonis Score, grade from A to E, solvency, liquidity; companies in insolvency proceedings can be left out.
  • Estimated equity value: a range, with the Pro plan.
  • Acquirable companies only: private companies whose capital can be transferred; public bodies and non-profit associations left out.

Results appear as a list or on a map, sorted by estimated value or by score. The criteria apply to companies, never to people.

From the list to the company page

Each result opens the company page: accounts over several financial years, valuation and its assumptions, similar companies, shareholding. See who pulls the strings, not just who signs: the chain of control goes up to the top of the group, based on the shareholder statements filed with the accounts.

Follow the companies you keep

Add the results to a list, or import your own company numbers. Idonis reports what changes: new annual accounts, publications in the Belgian Official Gazette (merger, dissolution, bankruptcy…), a lower Idonis Score, accounts not filed by the deadline. As an evening digest or immediately, in the app and by e-mail. The list can be exported to Excel.

Search is open from the free account; estimated value, e-mail alerts and exports come with the Pro plan, and during the free 14-day trial, no card required. Next step: SME valuation.

Run a first search

A sector, a region, a size: the list builds itself, and each company opens on its page.
