文件共享解决方案

By |2023-08-17T07:15:28+00:00April 7th, 2017|Blogs|

您通过什么方式与第三方共享文件?您与他人分享的是哪一类资料,视频、电影、照片还是高度机密的敏感资料?针对不同需求,您需要选用不同的文件共享方式。 如果您仅仅希望跟家人或朋友共享一些普通信息,普通的文件共享系统已经能够满足您的所有需求。这类系统针对社交需求所设计,操作简单方便。您只需要设置一个简单的安全密码便可进行登录。这种情况下,您无法保证看到您资料的人是否会将信息转载。当您要共享的信息涉及某些敏感资料时,如并购重组项目,简单的文件共享已经不能满足您的需求。您同时希望对方在自由浏览文件资料的同时无法将资料复制或转载。

兼并与收购系列三:尽职调查与资料室

By |2023-08-17T07:18:44+00:00April 1st, 2017|Blogs|

当资料室都搭建好了后,您就可以进入尽职调查阶段了。与前期过程一样,这取决于是卖方还是买方角度。在兼并与收购系列三中,我们将即从卖方角度也从买方角度出发。 竞争性的交易 在初步计划阶段,卖方需要确认发布给潜在买方的文件,以及发布这些文件的时间和顺序。启动案例,需要授权各方,供应商的管理团队需要为客户开启资料室。在这期间,卖方需要得到虚拟资料室的审计工具。这能帮助您确定哪些用户查看了哪些文件,并考量他们的利益出发点。 交易的沟通 在兼并收购的过程中,需要买方与卖方之间做良好的沟通,尽管传统的信件和电话的方式依然是可行的,越来越多的案例选择资料室来作为沟通的媒介。使用虚拟资料室能带来以下好处: 问答版块能及时解答问题 系统自动生成提醒 每日或每周自动更新 投资银行家通常会协调沟通,根据买方在各阶段的利益提供建议。 意向书 尽职调查的意向书提交之后,就能够安全的在资料室中查看该文件。根据进程,管理员会根据各方利益发放不同级别的文件。 会议 有少数的兼并与收购并不需要安排一系列的会议。通常潜在买家在投标前都会亲自到访观看卖方的生产操作情况。他们也许会需要现场查看一些资料室中的文件,来检测资产数据的准确性,除此之外还会查看一些操作性的报表。 编辑销售购买协议 如果尽职调查的过程顺利进行,同时没有任何法律程序延误此过程,买房和卖方就能够起草销售购买协议。此协议需要提及一下方面: 买价 付款条件 购买日期 员工的处理及补偿计划 资产转移 编辑起草销售购买协议需各方良好的沟通,都能有权查看最后的竞标和决定哪些买家能留下继续竞标。

并购是虚拟资料室行业的灵魂

By |2023-08-16T17:28:55+00:00March 20th, 2017|Blogs|

M&A是虚拟资料室行业的灵魂。一位同行曾经说过,“如果世上不存在并购重组项目,虚拟资料室绝不可能成为年收益百万美元的行业。”他说,“就谈谈我自身的经历,我2008年起从事这一行业,亲身参与过249个虚拟资料室的管理,而其中有95%的资料室都是为并购重组项目服务的。” 为什么说虚拟资料室是并购交易中不可或缺的一部分呢?我们从三个方面来谈一谈:   首先,虚拟资料室的使用情况直接反映了市场的变化。 2011年金融危机使得全球经济下滑,并购市场遭到重创。市场持续恶化,各公司不得不寻求解决办法。为了缩减支出,许多公司进行裁员或减少投资。所有正在商谈并购的公司发现自己与潜在买家的协商陷入了僵局。市场状况不佳导致人们对市场的预期更加悲观。投资方想要以最低的价格交易而卖方期望尽可能提高自身价值。这种情况下,当投资者出价过低,卖方往往拒绝交易。在尽职调查过程中,所有的提问及回复,以及补充文件都在虚拟资料室中进行交换。功能齐全的虚拟资料室为卖方提供了便利。用户日志清楚的展示了投资方在资料室中的一举一动,管理员可以很清楚的了解投资方关注的问题。如果项目中断,虚拟资料室也会被关闭。许多进行到一半的项目可能会被中断,因为卖方清楚在这样一个大环境下很难已心目中的价位成交。

Investment bankers play a key role in most Virtual Data Rooms. Their role in matching companies and assets with bidders and driving the M&A transaction is critical to make deals happen. Investment bankers normally create significant value to their clients, especially when they focus on one specific industry for many years and are able to read and sometimes even set M&A trends. Based on fourteen years

Why Virtual Data Rooms are better than physical ones?

By |2023-08-17T07:16:26+00:00March 6th, 2017|Blogs|

Physical data rooms are quickly being replaced by virtual data rooms, partly because of the complex procedures that are necessary to protect the information held in these rooms. Having confidential deal information in a specific location means that the parties in the deal need to travel to and from the location each time they view documents, which also results in high costs associated with transport,

M&A Life Cycle: Due Diligence & Data Rooms

Your data rooms are all set up and you’re ready to enter the due diligence stage of your merger or acquisition. As was the case in the pre-due diligence phase, the actions depend on whether the process is driven by the buyer or the seller.   In the third in our series of posts on the M&A life cycle, we’ll take a look at both

M&A Life Cycle Series II: Pre Due Diligence and Data Rooms

  Once you’ve identified your virtual data room vendor, the deal enters the pre-due diligence stage. This includes putting in place the infrastructure needed to facilitate the due diligence process, prepare the documents and sign the required agreements between the client and the data room vendor. The steps in this phase depend on whether the process is seller-driven or buyer-driven.
