MATCHING CRITERIA
Business failures are rising dramatically and IP-BID.com is also growing rapidly, regularly matching serious buyers and qualified sellers of distressed businesses instantly online via its new web-based insolvency marketplace. More than 5,000 potential buyers and their representatives have already registered to receive details of the latest insolvent businesses and distressed assets for sale. The UK’s leading insolvency practitioners post their insolvent businesses and assets for sale on the site, which then automatically matches a particular business for sale with potential buyers. These business opportunities can include companies in administration and pre-packs, as well as companies in receivership or liquidation with significant business assets for sale.
