When most people think of data rooms they’re probably thinking about the due diligence process for a merger or acquisition (M&A) deal where both parties review the documentation that is critical to business. Data rooms are being used for more than M&As. They also assist with fundraising, equity deals and company restructuring.
There are a variety of software solutions for data rooms, and it is important to select one that is suitable for your business. It should be simple to access from anywhere with secure logins and encryption technology. Tools to detect illegal downloads or access to your data are also essential.
Another important feature is the ability to create a folder structure to match the requirements of your project or due diligence and easily assign reading and uploading tasks for internal team members, advisers or third parties. Access permissions can be customized at the document and folder levels. And, when it is time for the Q&A discussion portion of a potential deal, you should look for a solution that includes an intuitive and efficient editing tool that is wiki-like, making it simple to add notes that can only be viewed by you (and not the other party).
