Before we hear about the latest M&A, joint venture, IPO or fundraising deal in the news, every transaction is clouded in secrecy. So much so that a special code name is used when referring to each deal.
Early mornings. Late nights. Lots of running around in between... The life of running a startup!
If you are about to start work on an M&A, IPO, or fundraising deal, you’re also about to come across virtual data rooms (VDRs). A VDR allows multiple parties to share and collaborate on a deal’s critical information through a secure and encrypted web platform.
Now, you’re probably thinking, ‘why should I pay for a VDR when platforms like Dropbox or Google Drive let me do something similar, but for free?’. Well, to be precise, a Virtual Data Room is very different from Dropbox or Google Drive.
Here are 5 instances where you should consider a VDR, always:
Although the data is hard to pin down, the body of research suggests that around half of mergers and acquisitions fail to add any value. While this might make uncomfortable reading for any company about to undergo the M&A process, it is a timely reminder of the importance of the due diligence process and undergoing a thorough audit and evaluation process before anything is signed.
Every M&A transaction faces unique challenges, depending on the nature of the transaction itself, participants involved and where they are located, budget, or who has access to what documentation to name just a few. And just as every deal is different, there is a marketplace full of virtual data room providers claiming to make the process easier.
Some companies may have a list of requirements for a data room provider, but for others, it can be difficult to know which vendor offers the type of service that will be required.
