Pactum apparently takes over Acatus
The Swiss company Pactum securitizes receivables from companies, Acatus loans until its insolvency.
An investor has rescued the insolvent start-up Acatus, that much was leaked this week. Now the rescuer is known by name: As Finance Forward reports, the Swiss company Pactum is taking over the securitization start-up. Acatus filed for insolvency in the middle of this year after a financing round failed.
The new owner wants to keep the entire Acatus team, including founder Daniel Wigbers. His co-founder Marie Louise Seelig had already left the start-up this summer. In addition, Pactum is paying financial scene 750,000 euros to the start-up, which makes up 30 percent of the insolvency estate.
Founded in 2016, the start-up securitized loans and Pactum is also dedicated to securitization. The Swiss company buys the receivables of fast-growing companies and securitizes them for investors. "Until now, we were only able to accept financing from 50 million euros, but with Acatus it will now also be possible for smaller amounts," Pactum founder Joscha Rosenbauer told Finance Forward.
