Most deals are found when they are already on the market. The best ones are seen from higher ground.

The European market

The whole market, in view.

Company registries and annual reports across Europe, followed year after year. Live in Denmark today, with the Nordics and the UK next.

Signals surface early.

A new holding company. A founder in the same seat for twenty years. A board that suddenly changes. Each one is small. Together they form a pattern.

Only what matters stays lit.

Most companies go quiet. The few that match the patterns before a sale are the ones you see.

How Foresight works
01

Read the record

Ten years of public company registries and annual reports, starting with Denmark. Every fact is stamped with the day it became public.

02

Name the pattern

Owner tenure, board changes, new holding structures, shifts in the accounts. Patterns you can read, not black-box scores.

03

Rank what matters

Every company weighed against your criteria. We measure ourselves on precision at the top of the list.

04

Act early

A short list of companies likely to change owners within one to three years, before anyone else is looking.

RecordPatternRankAct
The list

A short list. Each with a reason.

Filtered to your criteria and refreshed every month. We judge ourselves on precision at the top of the list, because that is where you actually look.

Inside Foresight

Your market, on one screen.

Every company scored on two questions: how likely is a sale within one to three years, and how well does it fit what you buy. Filter it, open a company and see the patterns behind the score.
