Deal Progress and Next Steps

 Background hero

This page explains how deals progress after due diligence and what founders can expect as a transaction moves toward completion, based on what is currently built and demonstrated in the M&A tool.

Moving Beyond Due Diligence

Once due diligence tasks are completed or nearing completion, the deal continues to progress through later stages.

At this point:

  • Most required information has been shared

  • Outstanding questions have been addressed

  • Both parties have a clearer understanding of the business

The platform tracks this progression so both founders and buyers can see where the deal stands.

Deal Stages and Status Tracking

Each deal moves through defined stages that reflect the current state of the transaction.

As a founder, you can see:

  • Whether an offer has been accepted

  • Whether due diligence is in progress

  • Which tasks remain open

  • The overall status of the deal

This visibility helps you understand what actions are still required from your side.

Contracts and Agreements

The platform includes a section for contracts related to the deal.

As shown in the walkthrough:

  • Contracts can be uploaded to the deal

  • Both founders and buyers can review them inside the platform

Contract signing and deeper contract management are areas that are being built and expanded. Any contract activity shown at this stage reflects early functionality rather than a fully automated process.

Escrow and Payments

Escrow and payment handling were described as upcoming parts of the workflow.

The intent is to:

  • Support escrow payments tied to signed agreements

  • Track these steps as part of the deal progression

At the time of the walkthrough, these features were discussed as in development and not fully implemented.

Activity History and Audit Trail

Throughout the entire deal lifecycle, the platform maintains a detailed activity history.

As a founder, you can see:

  • When documents were uploaded

  • When comments were added

  • When tasks were updated

  • When offers or counter offers were submitted

This creates a clear record of everything that has happened within the deal.

Managing Multiple Deals Toward Completion

If you are engaged with more than one buyer:

  • Each deal progresses independently

  • Each has its own documents, tasks, and history

  • You can monitor all deals from your Deal Hub

This allows you to manage timelines and priorities without confusion.

Current Scope of the M&A Tool

Based on the walkthrough, the M&A tool currently supports:

  • Listings and controlled access

  • Offers and negotiations

  • Deal tracking

  • Due diligence task management

  • Document sharing and collaboration

Later stage features such as contract automation and escrow are part of ongoing development and will expand over time.
