HighQ Dataroom Review

Do you need a Data Room for your transactions, and do you need it fast? In this article, we will consider HighQ service as a good alternative to a Virtual Data Room.

Why do we choose Virtual Data Room?     

A virtual data room (VDR), also known as a transaction room, is a secure online repository for storing and distributing documents. It is typically used during the due diligence process prior to a merger or acquisition to review, distribute, and disclose company records.

With the changes in the M&A market caused by the global financial crisis, the approaches to conducting legal inspections have also changed. A common example of due diligence is the process of evaluating a potential buyer (investor) of a company (target) or assets to acquire them. During the implementation of M&A projects at the stage of due diligence, experts identify the following types of inspections: financial, operational, legal, tax, other types of inspections (technical, environmental, etc.).

According to the method of information transfer, inspections can be on-site (with an inspection of objects by their location and interviewing employees or on the basis of information provided for review on the company’s territory) and on-site (via access to a Virtual Data Room) or on the basis of provided copies of documents).

The main purpose of the legal audit, which is carried out within the project of mergers and acquisitions, is to identify the risks that may be faced by the investor. The parties then negotiate to determine whether these risks can be eliminated. The results of the negotiations affect the value of the company and the provisions of the contract of sale (SPA). The level of risk of the risks identified during the inspection is crucial for the future of the project.
