Digitally facilitating the due diligence process

Virtual data rooms (VDRs) are revolutionising the process for mergers and acquisitions

Due diligence for any merger or acquisition involves the buyer examining financial and other records such as HR files, contracts, agreements with investors and other key data.

Due diligence is an essential element of any M&A process. In simple terms, it involves an examination of a company’s financial and other relevant records by a potential buyer.

Those records can include HR files, contracts with senior executives, agreements with investors, customer contracts, ESG data, and so on. In many cases, the volume of documentation involved can stretch to thousands of pages and more.
