At Caldrew we switched from SABI to Closedata. The platform is modern and easy to use, and the AI copilot saves us hours in deal origination across Portugal and Spain. The team listens and delivers fast.

With Closedata I review hundreds of targets in the time it used to take to qualify ten. Validated financials, ownership and succession signals in one place. It expedites the entire sourcing process.
Closedata surfaces off-market targets that fit the thesis before they ever reach a process, and the succession signals flag owners approaching a transition while there is still time to build a relationship.
We loved that we didn't need three different tools for sector mapping, financial validation and contact enrichment. Closedata does it all, on the same dataset, with the same deal score.
Most data providers read the same public sources and hand them back unprocessed. Closedata's intelligence is built differently, across four compounding layers that create a view of the private market that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Layer 01
Financial, ownership and operational data on 4M+ companies in Portugal and Spain. Filed accounts, balance sheets, cap tables, shareholder structures and payment behavior, sourced from official registries and our 
partnership.
Layer 02
Every company is enriched beyond the registry: what it actually does, what it sells, who it sells to, its business model, sites, teams and digital footprint. CAE codes describe almost nothing, so we rebuild the real profile of each company.
Layer 03
Describe your thesis in plain language and the engine translates it into a precise, repeatable screen across every field we hold. No filters to configure, no code lists to memorise, no exports to reconcile.
Layer 04
We read the signals before the market does: succession risk, margin trajectory, ownership changes, consolidation patterns and timing windows. So you reach the founder while the window is still open.
What you get
EBITDA, revenue, margins, ratios and net income from filed accounts. Every figure traces back to an official registry filing.
Full shareholder structure, ultimate owners, fund vehicles in the cap table and board composition.
Founder profiles, management seniority, and direct contact data: email, phone and website.
Succession indicators, risk flags and deal-readiness signals, scored deterministically and corroborated before they surface.
Bring a thesis. We will show you the targets no one else gives you.
How it works
Find family-owned solar panel companies in Portugal with EBITDA between €6.5M and €7.2M and founders over 50y. The AI understands and structures the search.
It cross-references from Informa D&B, public registries, web and news, surfacing financial, ownership, governance and succession signals.
It returns a ranked list of targets, each with financial health, ownership, contacts and the signals that fired, plus a one-pager ready to share.
It plugs into your M&A workflows and memo templates, with a built-in CRM so you go from insight to negotiation without leaving Closedata.
In private capital, saying "AI-powered" isn't enough. Discover how a foundation of validated financials, ownership graphs and succession signals makes Closedata's intelligence actually intelligent.
Meet AI by ClosedataClosedata vs legacy
See why professionals are switching from legacy tools to AI-powered intelligence.
M&A and PE teams spend weeks on manual sourcing across fragmented, outdated databases. Closedata cross-references official financials, ownership structure, succession signals and market context in a single conversational copilot, returning in seconds the companies that actually match your thesis, including the ones no one announces.
It is not a database with filters. You describe your thesis in plain language and the AI structures the search, validates financials, maps ownership and generates proprietary scoring. Instead of exporting lists to Excel, you walk away with qualified targets, ready-to-share one-pagers and an integrated pipeline.
SABI and similar tools are accounts repositories. Closedata uses these sources but adds the intelligence layer: natural language, deal scoring, succession signals, off-radar opportunity detection and a built-in deal workflow.
Financials come from official registries and filed accounts (Informa D&B, Iberian commercial registries), updated the moment new filings and registry changes land. We cross-check each company against multiple sources to validate EBITDA, revenue and balance sheet, and always show the source and date of every data point.
We cross four layers: financial (EBITDA, revenue, ratios, history), structure (cap table, concentration, cross-holdings), people (shareholder age, team, succession) and signals (news, web, governance, ownership changes, sector trends).
The Deal Score is our proprietary 0 to 100 score that ranks every company by attractiveness as an M&A target. It combines financial strength, succession risk, recent ownership changes, growth signals and sector fit. Each component's weight can be tuned to your thesis.
Usually less than a week. We configure your thesis, integrate your workflow and memo templates, and you can start running queries on day one. Larger teams include dedicated training and CRM setup.
We combine frontier language models for the conversational layer with proprietary models trained on Iberian financial and M&A data for scoring, signal detection and enrichment. Sensitive data is never used to train public models.
We estimate shareholder age, map capital concentration, absence of successors in the family or management, tenure in role, recent cap table changes and external signals (news, team changes, new holding companies). When several signals align, the company rises in the succession ranking.
Today our focus is Portugal and Spain, where we have the deepest market coverage. Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America (starting with Colombia) are on the near-term roadmap.
