A virtual data room can be a great way to keep sensitive information in one place that is controlled by an administrator. You can upload documents and other files ma transactions that can be shared with potential investors or the buy-side to review – improving efficiency and speeding up due diligence and negotiation process.
A data room is typically used in the due diligence phase of M&A transactions, where both parties look over documents critical to their business and negotiate the terms of the transaction. You can also use a Data Room to conduct legal proceedings, equity and funding transactions, or any other transaction that requires confidential information.
The majority of data rooms offer a range of templates that can be modified to meet the type of transaction you are undertaking. This makes it easy to create a folder structure with document names that reflect the specific project and make it easier for users to locate the information they need quickly. You can create a folder named “financial Info” and subfolders to arrange documents such as contracts or accounting reports.
A good VDR solution offers a suite tools for reporting that will help you monitor and track use of your data room. This is particularly important once your data room has been opened to a third-party, since it allows transparency and accountability about who’s uploading what documents and when. You should therefore choose an online service that provides this type of reporting, along with continuous technical and account management support which should be available all hours of the day, every day.
