Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to sell a data center?
Timelines depend on how ready the file is: technical documentation, existing contracts and legal status. A well-prepared file can close in a few months; a less mature file needs more time for due diligence.
What documents are needed to sell a data center?
Customer and supplier contracts, operating history, technical data (available power, PUE, energy contracts), and legal and land status. The more complete the file upfront, the faster the transaction.
How is an operating data center valued?
Valuation factors in installed and available capacity, occupancy rate, existing contracts, the quality of the electrical connection and location. Our team tailors the assessment to each file.
Does Datalok only operate in France?
No. We support transactions across Europe, with particular knowledge of the French market and its regulatory and energy specifics.
Is confidentiality guaranteed during the transaction?
Yes. Your project is shared only with qualified buyers or investors.
Do you also handle land with an electrical connection?
Yes. Beyond operating data centers, we also connect landowners and investors around land with grid connection potential. See our dedicated page on data center land & power.
