Using Skeleton Documents


When preparing an information memorandum a simple but useful tip is to prepare a rigorous index to the document ahead of any full scale drafting.

Nothing is more annoying than rewriting documents over and over again.  Working through an index approach you can ensure that the framework of the document is put in good order and all stakeholders that are involved in the process can buy in.  THis will avoid lengthy redrafts (hopefully).

Using an index based framework approach will also give you direction in the preparation of the documentation.  You can work on a modular basis.

Indexes and substance to Information Memoranda are fairly standardised these days.  Any public company prospectus will give you good direction on the sections that a investor will seek to review.
