Raising capital for your project, firm or organization always requires due diligence document review so that investors can understand the risk and rewards associated with their decision to invest. The right virtual data room can help streamline this process, while keeping documents secure. ShareVault is ideally suited for presenting investor documents for due diligence, providing significant advantages when compared to distributing investor materals using email, CDs/DVDs, or FTP/filesharing sites:

Organize your investor materials in a structured hierarchy for a professional presentation of your firm
By organizing your documents according to a well-structured due diligence list, you can put your company in the best possible light, and streamline the review process. Only ShareVault allows you to organize your documents using tags, rather than folders. Frequently, the same file needs to be placed in multiple locations in the due diligence index. With ShareVault, just apply multiple tags to the document. No other data room provider offers this simple yet powerful capability:

• No need to replicate files in multiple locations
• No paying for additional pages in replicated documents
• No need to combine document access statistics for multiple instances of the same file

Secure your valuable information without slowing down document access
ShareVault automatically converts your documents to an encrypted PDF format that provides the industry standard document viewing experience, including continuous scrolling and high-speed rendering. Some competing VDRs, because they a’re based on the dated TIFF document standard, will slow down document review due to sluggish page rendering, lack of continuous scrolling and inability to view more than one page at a time. The PDF encryption used by ShareVault allows you to revoke access to any document at any time, even if the document has already been downloaded. Sharevault also provides you with the ability to apply additional security attributes, including inhibiting preventing document download, prohibiting preventing printing, applying secure dynamic watermarks, identifying the user, and blocking screenshots.

Accelerate the due diligence phase
ShareVault supports PDF streaming, so that documents open to the first page instantly, even if there are many thousands of pages. Most competing virtual data rooms providers suggest that you break up large documents into smaller volumes so they’ll load quickly, but with ShareVault, you can keep document review moving fast without getting bogged-down with large documents.

Respond efficiently and securely to questions from investors
The easy-to-use ShareVault Q&A module further streamlines the due diligence process by optimizing the response to questions from your potential investors. Questions can be asked privately from right within the data room, so that you and your team can easily respond from the centralized Q&A module. With the optional Q&A workflow feature, questions can be routed to the appropriate expert, and then back to the Q&A moderator for approval before posting the final response. You can also change the privacy level on each question so that other users can refer to questions that you have already answered.

Prepare quickly for due diligence
As you prepare for investor due diligence, the last thing you need is a complex and lengthy procedure for preparing your data room. ShareVault customers are consistently impressed by the intuitive simplicity of inviting users, creating the due diligence structure, uploading documents and setting permissions / policies. From our drag-and-drop user/group management tool, to the unique in-browser drag-and-drop uploader and automated PDF conversion pipeline, ShareVault has been designed for rapid, streamlined deployment.

Find documents quickly through indexed full-text search
Your users will be able to instantly find documents that relate to relevant key words. Only ShareVault provides relevance ranking, in-place document synopses and zoomable first page thumbnails for each search result, so users can quickly and easily isolate the documents that contain the information sought. With its powerful search capabilities, ShareVault helps prospective investors quickly answer the questions they have about your company, compressing the timeframe of the document review phase.

Gain valuable insight into the due diligence process through detailed reporting
As the due diligence process unfolds, having a clear picture of how your investors are spending their time in ShareVault can provide key insights into their level of interest, and can help you understand their areas of concern. The ShareVault reporting module provides high-level metrics such as number of pages viewed and/or amount of time spent by each user group in each section of the data room, as well as detailed metrics such as specific pages viewed, and the amount of time spent within each document by each user. The combination of both fine-grained and summary information with interactive filtering and intuitive query tools, allows you to quickly and easily answer any question you might have about investor activity within your ShareVault.

• No need to replicate files in multiple locations
• No paying for additional pages in replicated documents

Questions can be asked securely from right within the data room and then, with the optional Q&A workflow feature the corporate development team can route the questions to the appropriate expert(s) within the target’s organization, and then back to the Q&A moderator for approval before posting the final response to your internal team. You can also change the privacy level on each question, so that information pertaining to sensitive matters, such as Human Resources, can be tightly controlled.

When firms collaborate to develop new business partnerships, the opportunities can be enormous, but first you need to strike a deal where both parties are fully aware of the risks and rewards. Often, this requires that one or both parties conduct a detailed due diligence document review phase. To optimize this process, be sure that you choose a data room that can accelerate the due diligence process while keeping your valuable documents secure. A good virtual data room can help you to cast a broader net so that you can court multiple worldwide partners, while keeping detailed tracking information as your potential partners review your critical documents. Once you have struck a deal with your definitive partner(s), you can retroactively revoke access access even to the documents already downloaded.

Whether you’re involved in in-licensing or out-licensing copyrights, trademarks, technical know-how, patented inventions, software, or any other technology, you will need to share documents for due diligence.
