Confidentiality Agreement (NDA)
A free, professionally formatted template you can use before sharing confidential information with a potential buyer, investor, or partner.
Note: This template is drafted under Danish law. It is provided as an English translation for your convenience — the legal terms and default venue reflect Danish practice.
A confidentiality agreement — often called an NDA, short for "Non-Disclosure Agreement" — is one of the first documents that comes into play when you need to share sensitive information about your business with a potential buyer, investor, or partner. Want to know more about when and why you should use one? Read our full walkthrough of confidentiality agreements when selling a business.
What does the template contain?
- Fields to fill in the parties' name, company and registration number
- A definition of what counts as confidential information
- The receiving party's obligations and the common exceptions to them
- Duration, return of information, and what happens in the event of breach
- Governing law and venue under Danish law
- A signature table with room for multiple people to sign — for example several owners or representatives of both parties
Who is it for?
The template is written generally, so it can be used by both sellers and buyers — whether you need to share information in connection with a sale, an investment, or a partnership. If your situation is more complex, for example with several receiving parties in different roles, we recommend having the template reviewed by a lawyer or advisor before it's signed.
