How do I set up a data room in LockRoom?

Create an account, start a new room, and load the included M&A folder template. Drag your folders and files in from your desktop, then invite buyer groups by email. A typical room is live in under 5 minutes, and the 14 day free trial requires no credit card.

Step by step

  1. Start a free trial at lockroom.com. No credit card required.
  2. Create a new room and name it for the deal (most bankers use a project codename).
  3. Apply the standard M&A template (13 folders, 63 subfolders) or build your own structure.
  4. Drag and drop your folders and files. Folder structure from your desktop is preserved.
  5. Invite buyer groups by email and set their permissions before they enter.
