V-Rooms™ is your M&A Sell-Side Solution
Parties to asset sales and M&A transactions must manage, examine and share voluminous records relating to the companies or assets being acquired or sold. To protect their businesses and comply with applicable regulations, the owners of these records must take all appropriate steps to control the disclosure and use of these records at all times. Transaction participants historically have created physical data rooms to house and produce documents and to monitor the use and examination of these documents. As a result, only one prospective acquirer could access information at a given time.
The complexities of these transactions, combined with growing requirements of transparency, audit, shortened transaction cycles and, in the case of an asset sale, the ability to create a larger bidding party to maximize asset values have clearly demonstrated the inadequacies of accepted paper-based business processes and traditional data rooms.
Our V-Rooms™ hosting solution enables clients to provide access to due diligence materials to any number of prospective buyers in disparate locations simultaneously on a parallel basis within a secure, controlled, virtual data room.
V-Rooms™ is your M&A Buy-Side Solution
Issue our Buy-Side Virtual Data Rooms, organized according to your due diligence checklist, to the target company, requiring them to assemble the required documents for review by your management team.
Use Virtual Due Diligence Rooms to get rid of physical “war rooms” and the requirement to copy documents, burn CD’s and then rush to FedEx to get them delivered overnight. The constantly changing information in these Virtual Rooms can be simultaneously reviewed anytime, anywhere by your staff’s evaluation team of advisors, consultants, attorneys and accountants.
Simultaneous Review by Your Staff
Most acquiring organizations are geographically dispersed. Within these organizations, it is essential that due diligence information be assembled and quickly disseminated to various internal departments, as well as numerous external advisors:
- Corporate Development
- Human Resources
- Outside Counsel
- Finance
- Legal
- Operations
- Properties and Facilities
- Accountants
- Consultants
Reduce Travel Logistics & Expenses
In the past, by receiving a collection of business plans, photographs, documents, projections, agreements, audio files, presentations, etc. in a hard copy format, it has been difficult and time consuming to distribute this information to the various groups for evaluation. To a certain extent, the distribution process is improved when information is supplied on a CD. However, simultaneous analysis is often hampered, given the scope of international operations.
Our Internet-based, secure Virtual Due Diligence Rooms solve this problem. Given a username and a password, your representatives and professionals around the globe are able to simultaneously review the information, and evaluation team members are automatically notified by email alerts when new information is posted to the Virtual Data Room. Due diligence travel logistics and expenses are considerably reduced, and deals are able to be closed faster.
