Richard Benham
: True, but here it presumably means something like services in relation to acquisitions or something. Your answer may work in this particular text or not; it's hard to say from the context.

Ford Prefect
: acquisitive is a derogation of people who like _acquiring_ stuff - people who are hooked on the consumption of material goods. It has too many negative connotations for this context, even if as a lit. translation it would work in other contexts.
