FAQ
You are probably wondering…
How much does AcquiScan cost?
The trial is free for 30 days, with every feature and no credit card. After that, a subscription costs €29 per month, with no commitment, or €290 per year, with a 12-month commitment renewed automatically; nothing is charged if you do not subscribe. Firms and business-transfer advisors: custom quote. The acquisition simulator on this website remains free, with no sign-up.
Is AcquiScan available in English?
Not at the moment. AcquiScan is a French service for people looking to buy a business in France: the app (app.acquiscan.fr), the analyses and the alerts are in French for now. This English website explains how the service works.
Where do the listings come from?
They are published by third parties on business-transfer platforms: Transentreprise (the network of French Chambers of Commerce and Chambers of Trades), Bpifrance Transmission, CessionPME, Les annonces du commerce and CRA. AcquiScan reads them continuously, 24/7, and only keeps those that match your criteria. The BODACC, an official French publication, complements the analyses and feeds the “businesses in difficulty” option. AcquiScan is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these organizations.
Is the score out of 100 reliable?
It is calculated by artificial intelligence using only the published information (price, revenue, EBITDA, description) and official data when the company can be identified. It is an excellent sorting tool, not the truth: AI can make mistakes. Always check the figures and get advice from a chartered accountant and a lawyer before committing.
Do I need a finance background?
No. Each analysis explains in plain words what matters (profitability, price relative to EBITDA, risks, questions to ask), and the AI expert answers your questions at any time, even from your phone.
How do the alerts work?
Through Telegram, a free messaging app. Once you have connected your account (it takes less than a minute), you receive every new business that matches your criteria, with its score, within minutes. You can reply to the message to ask the expert about that listing.
Is my data protected?
Your account and settings are stored in a database hosted in the European Union. Only the AcquiScan server accesses it directly; the administrator may view an account solely for support, security or improvement of the Service, and every view is logged (see our privacy policy). We do not sell any data and use no advertising trackers. You can download or delete your data at any time.
