Information Memorandum Disclaimers: What You Need To Know

When you are raising capital for your business in New Zealand, it’s crucial to consider the confidentiality of the information you disclose to potential investors.  

An Information Memorandum Disclaimer outlines your expectation that any information provided to these potential investors remains confidential between you and them, and should only be used for the purpose of considering an investment in your business.

Here’s what you need to know about Information Memorandum Disclaimers in New Zealand.

What Is An Information Memorandum Disclaimer?

When reaching out to investors in New Zealand, you’ll often provide a “pitch deck” that presents your proposal and the reasons why an investor should consider your business. This “deck” will typically include detailed and accurate information about your company, known as an Information Memorandum.

A disclaimer on an Information Memorandum is an addition to this document that ensures the confidentiality of the information provided to potential investors. 

This disclaimer is a legally crafted statement that ensures the information will not be disclosed to any third parties beyond the potential investor’s consideration of investment in your business.

Why Do I Need An Information Memorandum Disclaimer?

For significant capital raising or seeking later-stage investment in New Zealand, having an Information Memorandum is common practice. 

If you have an Information Memorandum that you intend to share with certain investors, then it’s essential to accompany it with a disclaimer. This ensures that all confidential information remains secure and that any leaks of the detailed information provided can be addressed with legal consequences.
