Distressed asset recovery

Acquire. Continue. Preserve.

Caldeo structures the transfer of assets and business activities for insolvency practitioners, distressed companies, and acquirers seeking high-potential opportunities.

Founded by a former business lawyer, specialised in restructuring and corporate reorganisation.

The problem

Each year, value disappears needlessly

When a company stops trading, its assets, know-how, jobs and contracts are dispersed, often well below their true value. Without time, the right connections, and a clear framework, viable transfers never happen.

Who is behind Caldeo

An approach built on dual expertise: legal and transactional

Founder

Jean-Philippe de Vinck, former business lawyer, specialised in restructuring and corporate reorganisation.

Process

Written mandates, standardised NDA, structured data room, end-to-end support. A legally sound process, defensible to the creditor body.

Network

At the intersection of a network of insolvency practitioners and a network of acquirers and investors. Success-fee only.

What Caldeo does

Identify, structure, transfer

Legal rigour

Written mandates, confidentiality, GDPR compliance. Every transaction is managed by a qualified business lawyer.

Speed of execution

Distressed situations move in weeks. Caldeo qualifies acquirers, structures the process and supports through to closing.

Jobs, clients, know-how

Preserving business continuity, jobs and contracts, avoiding value destruction for all parties.

Our approach

A clean process, end to end

  1. 01

    The case is referred by an insolvency practitioner, a lawyer or a company director, or identified through our own monitoring of proceedings.

  2. 02

    Qualification and confidentiality: engagement letter, NDA, asset perimeter, structured data room.

  3. 03

    Identification and outreach to qualified acquirers, including cross-sector and off-network targets.

  4. 04

    Support through to closing. Success-fee only.
