Data room for liquidation and winding up
Short answerLiquidators use data rooms to market assets to buyers, share reports with creditors and manage proofs of debt. Simple setup, controlled access for many parties and a clear audit trail are what matter.
How it works in Singapore
In a winding up under the IRDA, the liquidator realises assets and distributes proceeds to creditors. Asset sales, from equipment to subsidiaries, need buyer due diligence.

Questions people ask
Do liquidators use data rooms?
Yes, for asset sales and sometimes for creditor communication.
Can creditors see each other's claims?
They should not; use per-creditor permissions.
Is a cheap room enough?
For small asset sales, a simple room with permissions and an audit trail is often enough.
