How the score is built
- Action window
25 / 25 - Type of procedure
12 / 15 - Size of the business
12 / 15 - Sector margin
11 / 15 - Track record
10 / 10 - Legal form
10 / 10 - Price and ticket
5 / 10
Seven criteria, 100 points: the action window weighs the most, because a good deal past its deadline is no deal at all. The type of procedure, the size of the business, the sector margin, the track record, the legal form and the price or ticket complete the score.
How to read this analysis
Safeguard protects a company that is not yet unable to pay its debts. The owner stays in charge, debts are frozen during a renewable six-month observation period, and no sale is imposed. A buyer comes in through a partnership, a capital contribution or a share purchase negotiated with the owner and the administrator.
The score does not say the company is healthy: it says a buyer should open the file now. It is computed every day from the notice published in the official bulletin of civil and commercial announcements (BODACC), completed with the national companies register (NAF code, headcount, creation date, legal form). Amounts are orders of magnitude derived from sector statistics, not the company's accounts.
Pro and Business members see the revenue band, the indicative ticket, the detailed timetable, the next steps and the list of documents to request from the court-appointed officer. Our legal team can then prepare the offer with you: perimeter, price, financing and filing with the registry.
Automatic analysis based on the published notice and the national companies register. It is neither legal advice nor a valuation: the figures are orders of magnitude to confirm with the documents of the procedure.
