LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR NEXT MANDATE
Bring your next deal.
See how Closva could fit your firm. We’ll walk through the workspace and discuss preparing your first deal pack together.
A few things worth knowing.
Does AI run the deal for me?
You remain in charge. Closva helps prepare, reconcile and draft the work. You review the figures, apply your judgement and approve what is shared.
Can we use our own templates and brand?
The workspace is designed around your firm’s identity. Teasers, memoranda and agreements use your branding, with editable deliverables for your team.
Does signing an NDA automatically open the data room?
No. NDA signing and access approval are separate steps. You decide which buyer group can see each folder and file, and when to release it.
How do we get started?
Book a demo with the team. Bring an example mandate and we can walk through the proposed workflow, your templates and early access together.
