Using a Data Room to Store Intellectual Property and Other Important Documents
Traditionally, companies kept important documents in a secure room that possible buyers could access during due diligence. Today the documents are stored in a data room. Investors are able to access information like your articles of association along with your patents, intellectual property as well as the legal structure for your company. This includes stock vesting, contracts and a cap-table (which lists who owns what).
It’s crucial to have the correct documentation prepared in a timely manner when you’re preparing for an investor, a sale, or an acquisition. This can speed the process and decreases the chance of missing an important element.
Virtual data rooms provide a secure environment for sharing and storing files related to IP and licensing. Security features like audit logs, user permission settings, watermarking, and limitations on downloading or printing help prevent information leakage and data breaches.
Lawyers often have to deal with large volumes of confidential documents during a case. Virtual data rooms are a great option to manage this material because of their robust encryption methods and extensive security controls. VDRs also enable lawyers to share and collaborate on files with clients while protecting the confidentiality of sensitive information.
A data room for investors must be set up at the time you begin pitching to investors so they can view all of your pertinent information during due diligence. This will help them understand what you’re selling and can make an informed decision on whether or not they’d like to collaborate with you.
