Business, Legal & Accounting Glossary
A data room is a safe facility created by a seller in which confidential data from a company is placed for viewing by the purchaser. The data room is an essential component of the due diligence process, which begins when a non-disclosure agreement is signed.
A due diligence data room is another name for a data room.
Most purchasers want to perform a thorough examination of every area of a company before purchasing it. To facilitate this, the seller will frequently store critical data and information in a physically safe and constantly monitored area that a team of experts from the buying firm may access. This helps the buyer to check the value of the company and unearth any skeletons (if any) that could jeopardize his investment.
Because the records stored in a data room are extremely secret, it takes a significant amount of time and effort to build a strong and secure data room (i.e. copies of financial, legal, and business documents). The data room can be constructed virtually to save both the seller’s (in terms of building a data room) and the buyer’s (in terms of the time and cost associated with employing specialist analysts). Because access to data rooms is limited, the buying team is normally forced to see them one at a time, according to a predetermined timetable.
