AcquireScout — UK Acquisition Intelligence SaaS - Sell Project

AcquireScout — UK Acquisition Intelligence SaaS AcquireScout is a production-ready acquisition intelligence SaaS for search funds, independent sponsors, lower-middle-market investors, corporate development teams, M&A advisors, and acquisition entrepreneurs. The platform helps investors find, evaluate, monitor, and manage UK private-company acquisition opportunities using real Companies House data. Instead of manually searching Companies House, spreadsheets, and financial filings, an investor can define an acquisition thesis through structured Buy Boxes, discover relevant companies, evaluate financial information, receive a deterministic acquisition-fit score, monitor deal-relevant changes, and move promising targets through an acquisition pipeline. This is a fully built SaaS product — not a landing-page prototype or mockup. Core Product: Companies House Intelligence AcquireScout integrates with the official UK Companies House data ecosystem and works with real company information including: Company profiles Company status Officers Persons with Significant Control (PSC) Charges Filing history Company filings Available financial information Financial Intelligence A purpose-built financial extraction pipeline processes filed accounts and extracts available financial metrics such as: Revenue Operating profit EBITDA Depreciation Debt Leverage Margins Financial periods The system includes XBRL/iXBRL financial extraction and has been tested against real company filings. Buy Boxes Investors can define acquisition criteria including: Target industries Geography Revenue ranges EBITDA requirements Financial thresholds Acquisition preferences These criteria are then used consistently throughout the matching and scoring workflow. Deterministic Acquisition Scoring Companies can receive a 0–100 acquisition-fit score with an auditable breakdown. The scoring engine evaluates explicit acquisition criteria and can classify results as: Pass Partial Unknown Failed The numerical acquisition score is deterministic rather than AI-generated, making the investment logic explainable and repeatable. Company Matching AcquireScout automatically evaluates companies against Buy Boxes and surfaces relevant acquisition opportunities. Investors can filter matches using acquisition and financial criteria rather than manually reviewing every company. Opportunity Radar & Signals The platform detects deal-relevant changes and surfaces opportunities through areas such as: New matches Improving companies Deteriorating companies Ownership signals Financing signals High-conviction opportunities Signals are grounded in underlying company data and filings. Match History & Monitoring Investors can review historical acquisition-fit results and understand what changed since their previous review. This allows the platform to become an ongoing monitoring system rather than a one-time company search tool. Watchlists Companies can be added to watchlists for continued monitoring and future review. Company Comparison Potential targets can be compared side-by-side to help investors evaluate multiple acquisition opportunities efficiently. Deal Management AcquireScout goes beyond company discovery and includes a complete workflow for managing potential acquisitions. Pipeline / CRM Companies can move through acquisition stages such as: Sourcing Reviewing Initial Contact Qualified Diligence LOI Negotiation Closed Passed The pipeline includes: Deal records Stage management Tasks Notes Activity history Deal details Deal Room Each opportunity can have a dedicated Deal Room for organizing acquisition-related information and activities. Diligence The platform includes a dedicated diligence workflow for evaluating potential acquisition targets. Investment Memos AcquireScout can generate structured investment memos using available company data and acquisition analysis. Memos can be viewed, downloaded as Markdown, and printed/saved as PDF through the browser. AI-Assisted Acquisition Analysis The AI layer supports acquisition workflows including: Natural-language acquisition thesis interpretation Company summaries Risk summaries Diligence questions Investment analysis Investment memo generation AI is intentionally separated from the deterministic financial and scoring layer. AI does not calculate acquisition scores or financial metrics. SaaS Infrastructure AcquireScout was built as a real multi-tenant SaaS application rather than a single-user prototype. The architecture includes: User authentication Organizations Organization members Multi-tenancy PostgreSQL Supabase Auth PostgreSQL Row Level Security Tenant isolation Platform administration Background synchronization Notifications Saved searches Automated Data Synchronization The application includes scheduled background synchronization through Vercel Cron. The system can process company updates, filings, financial records, and signals without requiring users to manually refresh every company. Stripe Billing Infrastructur...
