Spanish term
ficha ciega
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
Hello, I'm not sure what this is called, or if there is a specific set term for this. I can describe it, it is when a business wants to offer itself for sale, but doesn't want this information to be 100% public (could hurt share price/investor confidence, etc.). So, it's an announcement in which all of the important information about the business is provided *but not the name or anything which could be used to identify the actual company for sale*. Potential buyers are then vetted, and if they meet the sellers criteria, if they are not just fishing for information, then they are given full contact information.
Cheers, Spanish (Spain) to UK English.
TIA!
