Why use a Virtual Data Room for M&A?
For the M&A process to operate securely and efficiently, a good Virtual Data Room platform to prepare and share information and documents is essential. In the due diligence phase, this is certainly a prerequisite.
However, having the platform available already from the start of the project provides for a good start. Key documents can be made available right away, and collaboration with financial and legal advisors can be conducted in a secure environment.
