Creating a Data Room for Business

A data room is an online location which allows you to securely share confidential data and files with other parties. The platform is usually used for mergers and acquisitions, as well as due diligence and fundraising. It facilitates a secure exchange of information and prevents sensitive documents ending up in the hands of the wrong people.

The most reliable data rooms provide clear folder structures and indexing, enabling users to locate information by topic or by file name. Some data rooms also offer version control to make sure that everyone is running the latest version and can track changes. PandaDoc is a well-known data storage service that provides all of these features including bespoke analytics and tracking as well as watermarking on downloaded documents, and a cyber-secure environment.

The first step to create the dataroom is to determine the types of documents to be included. Typical areas include legal (Articles of Association, IP registrations), financial (profit and loss statements, balance sheets) and documents for company formation with a current cap table that clearly identifies who owns what percentage of the business. It is important to not share any additional data that are not standard, like non-standard analysis that are not relevant to the present or future business’s health. It is also a good idea to keep track of the people who have access to your data room. This allows you to deactivate those who don’t require access and to update permissions for those who still need access. This will ensure only the most current and current information is available to view.
