💡 Why this matters

Every business day, hundreds of German companies file for insolvency. If one of them is your customer, supplier or competitor, the first to know wins:

• A creditor that reacts on day 1 recovers far more than one that finds out weeks later.
• A sales team can win clients away from an insolvent competitor while they're vulnerable.
• A buyer can spot a distressed acquisition before it's on the market.

This actor gives you that edge — automatically.

❓ FAQ

Is the data official? Yes — directly from the government portal insolvenzbekanntmachungen.de.

Do I need an account or API key? No. The source is fully public and free.

Will it miss announcements? No. It scans day-by-day and, if a single day exceeds the site's 1,000-result cap, it automatically re-runs that day per Bundesland and merges the results.

How fresh is it? Announcements appear on the portal on the publication day; run with that day's date (or use Monitor mode for a daily feed).

Can I track one specific company? Yes — set companyName to *YourCompany* and turn on Monitor mode.

Individuals or companies? Both. Use companiesOnly: true to keep only businesses.
