Overview
DealMaker360 has a list of Activities associated with each Step. The following are the four types of Activities:
- Simple: A simple Activity contains instructions for the user to follow and then mark complete.
- Template/Link: These Activities contain either a relevant link and instructions, or a template for the user to download.
- Upload: These Activities contain instructions and a file upload for simple documents that the user should have access to.
- Upload/Template: The most complex Activity, this contains a template for the user to download, fill out, and upload to the system.
We recommend that you thoroughly read each Activity's instructions. If an Activity is not relevant to the sale of your business, you may return to the Activity List page and Ignore the Activity. If you want a Team Member to complete an Activity or review a file that you have uploaded, you may complete these functions on Activity List Page. Details on performing these functions is covered on the Activity List Page in the help manual.
Multiple files may be uploaded on an Upload File activity. Files uploaded in the Prepare for Sale stage will be visible to Buyers who have signed a non-disclosure agreement that has been approved by the Seller.
Files uploaded during any other stage are only visible to a Transactional Buyer. There may only be one Transactional Buyer at a time. All files are also available in the Documents tool during the process.
We strongly suggest uploading files as PDFs. PDF is a widely used file format. Using alternate file formats may lead to compatibility problems between the Buyer and Seller. Most word processors and accountinvg software has the ability to export a file as a PDF. Please consult your preferred program’s help files to learn more.
