How carve outs run on LockRoom
“A carve out has six stakeholders on the seller side and four on the buyer side. The permissions matrix paid for the platform alone. Parent finance saw what stayed. The unit management saw what they were taking. Buyer counsel saw the diligence package. No emails, no spreadsheet of who can see what.”
