Setting Up Your Data Room

Create your data room

A data room is a useful tool for many purposes such as M&A capital raising, IPOs and divestitures or any other transaction requiring due diligence. Data rooms are utilized to handle confidential data assets such as specifications for designs, product plans or marketing strategies.

When you set your data room, it’s important to remember to only provide information that is pertinent and needle-moving for your business. The final thing you want to do is to provide prospective investors with a huge amount of data that is not needed and could distract them from your desired outcome.

Clearly label folders and documents to help users to locate documents. Many VDRs also provide features such as document indexing and tags that allow for quicker search and retrieval. Furthermore, the majority of VDRs allow users to automatically update the index of files whenever they are uploaded, renamed, moved from parent folders to subfolders, or modified.

Make sure you organize your dataroom correctly, including defining access rights and training materials. For ultra-sensitive files, consider adding watermarks to prevent changes to the document and leaks of information. It’s also important to set up audit trails for your data room in order to improve transparency and ensure compliance. Don’t forget a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that you have prepared for your users prior to them beginning collaborating on sensitive data. This will you avoid legal liability in the event of an illegal disclosure.
