Create your data room
A data room is a useful tool for many purposes that include M&A, capital raising, IPOs and divestitures, or any other transaction requiring due diligence. Data rooms can also be used to handle intellectual property and other sensitive data assets such as design specifications, plans for products or marketing strategies.
It’s crucial to only share information that is relevant to your data room. The most important thing is to provide a potential investor with a large amount of irrelevant information that could confuse or distract them from the desired outcome.
Label folders and documents clearly, making it easier to find documents. Additionally some VDRs have features like indexing documents and tagging them for quicker search and retrieval. Most VDRs allow you to update the index automatically as files are uploaded, changed or moved from subfolders to parent folders.
Make sure you set up your dataroom properly by defining the permissions for access and providing training materials. Consider adding watermarks on sensitive documents to stop unauthorized document modifications and leakage. To increase transparency and compliance it is important to establish audit trails for your data rooms. Don’t forget an agreement on non-disclosure (NDA) made available to your users prior to them beginning working with sensitive data. This will safeguard you from legal action in the event of an unauthorized disclosure.
