Due Diligence

       

Due Diligence Picture


Due Diligence is the process of evaluating a prospective business decision by gaining access to all relevant information about the associated risks and opportunities. Due diligence document review is a process inherent to most types of large business transactions. The goal of due diligence is to provide all parties to a transaction with the necessary information to make an informed decision.

Today, the virtual data room plays a key role in the due diligence document review process. There are several available virtual data room solutions, each providing different levels of document security, ease-of-use, speed, features and functionality. High-end virtual deal rooms provide the most comprehensive capabilities at a high cost, and typically offer full-service project management which is needed because they are difficult to setup, configure and administer. Low-end virtual deal rooms are priced low, and also tend to be easy-to-use but have limited functionality. ShareVault is the first virtual data room to offer the full set of high-end features and functionality combined with the ease-of-use that allows our customers to set up, configure and administer their own virtual data room, supported by a dedicated project manager at ShareVault and 24/7 support. Our unique cloud-based platform allows us to price our service lower than other leading full featured virtual deal room providers.

Price is always an important factor, but given the high stakes of a typical transaction requiring due diligence, it is also important to consider carefully the capabilities of the virtual data room. Be sure to ask for a demo not only of how the end user reviews documents, but also the administrator screens - you might find that many solutions are complicated and difficult to use, which can greatly slow down your deal. Choose the right virtual deal room for due diligence, and your transaction will move quickly and smoothly, with the confidence that the service will be available 24/7 and that you'll have a fine degree of control over access to your documents both during and after the due diligence phase.

Some of the most common applications of virtual data rooms for due diligence are listed below. Click on them for a detailed explanation:

Fund Raising

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.

Corporate Repository

Think of the advantages of a secure web-based repository for corporate documents: board of director documents, corporate finance files, audit and compliance records and content related to legal matters. Easy access to this content by your outside advisors (counsel, advisors, board members, etc.) who do not have access to your corporate network is essential, and a comprehensive audit trail is critical in today's increasingly stringent regulatory environment. ShareVault delivers the ideal combination of security and ease-of-use in a solution that can be immediately deployed with no support from IT.

Your board members, corporate advisors, legal counsel, consultants, officers and senior executives will benefit from the unique, powerful and easy-to-use features that ShareVault offers:


Present your corporate documents in a well-organized, professional structure
Place your corporate documents in a structured hierarchy that makes it easy to find relevant materials. Only ShareVault allows you to structure your documents using tags, rather than folders. Often, the same document needs to be placed in multiple locations in the the corporate repository 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 use 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 document encryption used by ShareVault allows you to revoke access to any document at any time, even if the document has been downloaded. Sharevault also provides you with the ability to apply additional security attributes, including inhibiting document download, preventing printing, applying secure dynamic watermarks, identifying the user, and blocking screenshots.

Provide fast access to corporate documents
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 suggest that you break up large documents into smaller volumes so that they’ll load more quickly, but with ShareVault you can keep document review moving quickly without getting bogged down with large documents.

Set up your corporate repository quickly
As you set up your corporate repository, the last thing you need is a complex and lengthy process. ShareVault customers are consistently impressed by the intuitive simplicity of inviting users, creating the corporate repository structure, uploading documents and setting permissions / policies. From drag-and-drop user/group management, 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 users to more quickly answer their own questions about your corporation.

Gain valuable insight what documents are being viewd by which users through detailed reporting
Having a clear picture of how your users are spending their time in ShareVault can provide important useful and provides for a detailed compliance/traceability tool. 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.

Bankruptcy / Restructuring

The recent global economic crisis has impacted companies of all sizes and generated a large increase in corporate restructuring and bankruptcy transactions including Chapter 11 reorganization and Chapter 7 liquidation. Court supervised bankruptcy places stringent requirements on company activities and information sharing with creditors, bond holders, banks, auditors, lawyers, consultants, trustees, workout management and other stakeholder parties. Full disclosure of material documents representing the current state of the company and ongoing updates is critical during the bankruptcy process. The right data room is essential for document review by debtor in possession investors, creditor and bondholder committees, preparing the reorganization plan, completing court approved Section 363 asset sales, facilitating the sale of claims or disposition of assets in a court approved Chapter 7 liquidation.
