M&A Glossary: Virtual Deal Room

A deal room is a secure, virtual space where buyers and sellers can share and exchange confidential information related to a potential transaction. Information is typically stored and accessed through a secure online platform that allows users to view, download, and upload documents and other information as needed.  

The use of a deal room is essential in M&A transactions because it allows buyers to perform their due diligence in a secure and confidential manner. By limiting access to sensitive information and tracking who has viewed or downloaded content, deal rooms help to minimize the risk of information leaks or other security breaches.
