About this m&a diligence NDA.

How do I customise the template?

Open the DOCX in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Find-replace the highlighted [FIELDS]. The template's inline guidance walks you through each field.

When do I use this instead of a standard NDA?

In M&A transactions, acquisition discussions, corporate sales, or detailed financing reviews where you're sharing extensive internal and financial data.

Can advisors see the data?

Yes. The template has built-in carve-outs for professional advisors (lawyers, accountants, tax advisers), lenders, and investors—each bound by similar confidentiality.

What's a 'permitted diligence activity'?

Activities like site visits, employee interviews, customer calls, supplier checks, and technology reviews—explicitly permitted so the buyer can properly evaluate the target.

Can I have an exclusivity period?

Yes. The template includes an optional exclusivity block (0-6 months) during formal diligence. Use sparingly; most transactions don't need it at the outset.

How long does confidentiality last?

If the deal closes: 6 years post-completion. If the deal falls through: typically 1-3 years. The template lets you configure this.

What about residual knowledge?

The template can include a residual-knowledge carve-out, allowing non-binding use of information that remains in an advisor's unaided memory after the deal ends.
