Before virtual data rooms were available, M&A teams created physical spaces that had filing cabinets that contained confidential documents and records. They were expensive and difficult to navigate. And, God forbid, a sleep-deprived M&A analysts accidentally sets a decade’s worth or more of financial statements on fire!

Begin by identifying information which will be essential to the due diligence process of your deal. You can then prioritize the most important documents to include or exclude. Beware of putting excessively irrelevant information because this could distract from key issues that are needle-moving for your company’s future.

Decide how you want to organize your data in subfolders and folders in order to create an organization that is simple to understand. You can also think about indexing, which allows you to tag files with keywords or metadata to find documents according to their content. Make sure all files have brief and clear names that accurately reflect the contents. Include dates and versions, if necessary to keep track of revisions to the document.

You can then upload your files into the data room for quick access by anyone who’s invited to the project. Many service providers allow you to set granular permissions for users so that they are invited to download or view certain file types without affecting the access to data of everyone else.

After you have uploaded all your files, the intelligent search feature lets you quickly find them and then view them. You don’t have to leave the data room. Some data rooms even have a built-in document viewer for a quick and convenient viewing experience.
