PE, VC or M&A deals eventually creates a long term relationship between the investor & Investee that could last 5-10 years or even more. To ensure the relationship remains stable and is successful over such a long period, the elements of the relationship need to be clearly understood, thoughtfully negotiated and carefully documented, and must accommodate the legitimate interests of both the parties involved in a PE, VC or M&A Deals. The investor would want to make sure his investment is protected, and the company will want to make sure the funds are delivered smoothly and that the founders have protected their stake in the venture. This makes Negotiation & Deal Documentation a critical first step in the business relationship. Clear & unambiguous documentation is very significant to establish a win-win situation for the parties involved.
