Secure data room for business sale, with every view on record
Tax returns, payroll, leases and customer lists are the most sensitive files an owner ever shares. Every listing on CompanyBrokers gets a data room that opens per buyer, after the NDA and proof of funds, and records every view and download.
| 10:42:07 | Buyer 1057 | NDA signed |
| 10:44:51 | Buyer 1057 | Proof of funds |
| 11:02:13 | Buyer 1057 | Tax returns 2023 to 2025 |
| 11:05:40 | Buyer 1057 | Lease and equipment |

Data room controls
- Folder and file permissions per buyer and per stage
- Access opens only after the NDA is signed and the seller approves the buyer
- View-only mode for sensitive files, with downloads switched off

NDA e-signature on every inquiry
Buyers sign the listing's NDA in the browser before they see the company name. The signed document is stored with the buyer's name, email, timestamp and IP address, and it is available to the seller and broker at any time. Brokers can use their own NDA text.

- Encryption at rest for every file in every data room
- Daily encrypted backups
- Access to production systems limited to named staff with multi-factor authentication
Accounts, roles and sign-in

Audit log
Every view, download, permission change, NDA signature and access revocation is written to an audit log the seller and broker can export. When a deal ends, you know exactly who saw what and when.
Confidential listings
Listings never show the company name, street address or logo. The headline, region and financial summary are written to stay anonymous, and the broker or owner decides when each buyer learns the name.
Your data stays yours
Listings, documents and buyer records belong to the seller or broker who uploaded them. Export them at any time; deleted data rooms are removed from active systems and from backups on their normal rotation. Read the privacy policy.
Security review for networks and lenders
Enterprise customers receive a security review, SSO, an uptime SLA of 99.9% and invoicing. Write to [email protected] with your questionnaire.

Can a buyer forward my documents
A buyer can share what they see, which is why access opens only after the NDA, files carry a watermark with the buyer's email, and view-only mode switches off downloads for the most sensitive files.
Who at CompanyBrokers can see my files
Only named staff with a support or security reason, with multi-factor authentication, and every access is logged.
What happens to the data room after the sale
You archive it or delete it. Archived rooms stay read-only for you and your broker.
