M & A: Sell Side
Today, virtual deal rooms have moved the due diligence process online, leaving physical paper-based data rooms to be a relic of the past, yet the market-leading virtual deal room providers offer only clunky and cumbersome solutions. How can you assure that your next deal runs more quickly and smoothly?
Pandesa ShareVault provides the ideal web-based platform to accelerate the due diligence process associated with sell-side M&A. Control the distribution of documents for deal marketing (pre-termsheet), due diligence (post-termsheet), closing and post-merger integration.
ShareVault is the most modern, easiest-to-use, fastest and most robust virtual deal room, with the following capabilities to accelerate your next deal:
- Per-user and per-document access control settings so you can control who can see what information and when,

- Entirely web-based application does not require installation of any proprietary document viewing software,
- Instant full-text search, so that participants can quickly find the information they need, greatly compressing the due diligence timeline,
- Fast, easy-to-use tools to setup and modify the structure of the data room so your deal can proceed quickly,
