Professionals on teams looking to constantly acquire, such as corporate development and private equity, know the importance of having a standardized process.
DealRoom helps buy-side M&A, from deal sourcing, pipeline management, buy-side financial due diligence, and more, create a strong and streamlined internal process.
What is the buy-side due diligence definition? And what does it mean for a buyer to do due diligence in mergers and acquisitions? Buy-side due diligence provides a factual assessment of areas to consider before engaging in a transaction. Essentially, when a buyer is engaging in due diligence, they are researching the ins and outs of the seller. Advisors are commonly hired to help a buyer to do due diligence, especially because deal teams are often managing multiple M&A transactions at a time and it is difficult for a buy to do their own due diligence.
DealRoom’s M&A project management platform and virtual data room software is a secure place for teams to organize deals, complete diligence, and plan for integration. The request tab allows teams to manage the entire diligence process, without the use of Excel trackers, email, and costly virtual data rooms. They can assign tasks, set due dates, share information, and more.
With our M&A platform, buy-side M&A can have multiple deals within a room at one time. This makes it convenient and cost-effective to switch back and forth between deals, while staying organized. The platform was designed for teams to utilize Agile principles that aim to streamline workflows and improve the overall M&A process. With every buy-side transaction there are costly buy-side M&A fees, but your software shouldn't be one of them. We deter from traditional per page pricing, and offer flat rate plans that include unlimited data and users, along with no overage fees.
