A virtual data room (VDR) is a tool to share documents online in a due diligence process. They are commonly used in M&A transactions, but they are also useful for fundraising rounds or other business transactions. They have many advantages such as a simplified process for due diligence and secure document storage advanced security features, and an easier collaboration.

VDR vendors often tout the savings in time and cost they provide. They can cut out the need for photocopying, paper and indexing, as well as rental fees for meeting rooms as well as courier services and office supplies. They also permit simultaneous access for participants from all over the world, which could speed up due diligence and increase the chances of completing a deal sooner.

Another advantage of the VDR is that the data can be stored and accessed securely for as long as necessary without having to worry about losing materials or having them damaged by weather or fire. This is in contrast to storing documents on a server or computer which are susceptible to theft or other types of damage.

For instance, if the company in the field of technology is looking for investment opportunities, they can upload confidential forecasts of revenue and intellectual property ownership documentation to the data room for potential investors to view. This can accelerate the due diligence process and boost investor confidence in the company’s prospects for growth. This could lead to a higher number of bidders, which can drive up the cost of selling the company that is being sold. A VDR can also be an excellent way to display the customer’s references and referrals, which can help increase investor confidence.
