How To Mio© - Stage 1: Project Setup - 1/2 - How to Create a New Project
This article describes how to Create a New M&A Project on the platform.
Navigate to the M&A Insurance Dashboard:
From the M&A Insurance Dashboard, select New Project
There are 5 steps to creating a New Project
These are visible in the progress bar at the top of your screen through the process:
1. Project Type: Select the type of Project
1.1. Select the type of Project you are creating
1.2. Click Next
2. Policy Type: Select type of Policy
In this step, we will choose between a Seller-Side Policy and a Buyer-Side Policy.
The below content is split in 2 sections given the difference in requirements and coverages of Buyer-Side versus Seller-Side io.insure policies. The main differences as far as end-users are concerned are in Phases 1 and 2. These differences and requirements are documented below. Please continue by clicking on the section that pertains to your project:
As M&A Transactions have 2 sides, there are also 2 types of Policies Mio© can cover: Buyer-Side Policies and Seller-Side Policies.
The requirements and options within these 2 types of Policies will differ.
We identify Buyer-side Policies as Policies where the insured is the buyer, or on the Buyer-side of the transaction, and Seller-Side Policies as Policies where the insured is the seller, or on the seller-side of the Transaction. Even if you may be the Seller, or on the Seller-Side of the transaction, the Project as io.insure sees it may be for a Buyer-side Policy. This is because Mio Buyer-side policies involve the Buyer-side and the Seller-side, whereas Mio© Seller-Side Policies only involve the Seller-side.
Please select below whether you are acting within a Buyer-side or Seller-side Policy.
