Got questions?
We’ve got you covered.
Which platform should I choose — FirmRoom or DealRoom?
FirmRoom and DealRoom serve different deal workflows. Choose FirmRoom if your priority is secure, intuitive document sharing for M&A, fundraising, or due diligence. Choose DealRoom if you need structured workflows to manage complex, multi-stage M&A processes from pipeline to integration.
What is the main difference between FirmRoom and DealRoom?
The core difference is focus. FirmRoom is a document-centric virtual data room built for clarity, speed, and secure collaboration. DealRoom is a process-driven M&A execution platform focused on task management, workflows, and deal orchestration.
Is FirmRoom suitable for M&A deals?
Yes. FirmRoom is widely used for M&A, especially on the sell-side and for document-heavy transactions. It’s ideal when teams need a fast, secure way to share and control sensitive documents without managing complex deal workflows.
Can FirmRoom replace DealRoom?
FirmRoom can replace DealRoom only if your deal does not require advanced workflow management or pipeline tracking. For document-focused deals, fundraising, or simpler M&A transactions, FirmRoom is often the more efficient and user-friendly option.
Is DealRoom too complex for fundraising or small transactions?
For many teams, yes. DealRoom’s workflow and execution features may be unnecessary for fundraising, early-stage deals, or transactions where document sharing is the primary need. In these cases, a virtual data room like FirmRoom is usually a better fit.
