Due Diligence for Operational, Commercial, and Legal Affairs can be made easier.
Virtual data rooms are changing M&A by cutting down on the possibility of physical documents being damaged or lost while accelerating the due diligence process and promoting value creation. The most important thing to ensure that your VDR can provide these advantages is to set it up properly by selecting the right provider, setting up an appropriate folder structure and inviting users who are authorized to use it. Once the VDR is set up, the search capabilities will transform into your digital scout, locating information from within complex folder structures with pinpoint accuracy.
Create your VDR by categories like investment due diligence, such as governance, finances intellectual property, real estate, HR, and litigation. Sub-folders can help you organize your data and build a user-friendly index.
Be aware that VCs, and other stakeholders with whom you communicate, will expect your documents to be in a particular order. Uploading an old version could undermine the trust of investors and compromise the deal.
Select one VDR that has role-based control (RBAC) for managing document permissions. This will help prevent malicious or accidental actions from unauthorised individuals.
The VDR should also allow users to download only the data they require. Watermarks, expiry dates and limitations on file size are all ways to limit the release of sensitive information. The VDR should also establish an audit trail comprehensive in order to know exactly what files each user has reviewed. This helps build trust and accountability among all parties.
