This helps prevent security breaches and leaks while allowing for instant sharing. VDRs can be used to share confidential financial documents for M&A transactions or loan syndication. You may also wish to share sensitive intellectual property in the context of a pharmaceutical collaboration.

Due diligence is a major undertaking for companies involved with mergers and acquisitions. A VDR allows teams to safely and efficiently share confidential files, including with board members who are located far away. The best VDRs can offer upload speeds of up to 5MB per second.
