Case Study
M&A transaction
Venionaire Capital advised on an M&A transaction with a deal volume of € 35 million.
Outdated tools
Traditional M&A data rooms
Traditional virtual data room providers charge an average of €4,000 for an annual license. In addition, there are monthly storage fees of around €400 per GB - with a storage requirement of 8 GB over twelve months, this results in a total sum of €42,400. Such providers are usually designed for one-off transactions, are technically outdated and are not optimized for recurring processes. This leads to additional costs for setup, support and user guidance.
Efficiency
DealPoint
With DealPoint Professional for M& A, a highly secure data room can be set up in under an hour. The platform includes 5 GB of storage; each additional GB or part thereof costs €94/month. The due diligence volume amounted to 8 GB, i.e. an additional 3 GB:
ROI
3,52x
Even in the first month, the total monthly costs of DealPoint Professional for M&A were significantly lower than those of traditional M&A data rooms - primarily due to the clearly calculable license costs and significantly lower storage prices. While traditional providers quickly increase in price with each additional gigabyte and month, DealPoint remains constant and predictable. The difference in the overall view grows significantly with each additional month: after six months, the cumulative savings are already over €16,000, after twelve months over €33,000. This results in a dynamic ROI that is positive from the outset and continuously improves over the course of the year.
Values in the 12th month:
Cumulative costs of classic providers (8 GB, 12 months): €42,400
Cumulative costs DealPoint Professional (8 GB, 12 months): €9,372
Cumulative savings: € 33,028
ROI multiple: 3.52× (€3.52 was saved for every euro invested)

The data room was live in less than an hour - without training, without queries. What's more, it is very inexpensive. This is exactly how M&A has to work today.
