Finance Document Automation: Loan Agreements, Term Sheets & M&A Documents

The Finance Documentation Challenge

Financial transactions generate extensive documentation. Loan agreements run hundreds of pages. Term sheets require careful comparison against market standards. M&A deals create data rooms with thousands of contracts to review. Manual document processing slows deals and increases error risk.

DocMods automates document review so finance teams can close deals faster while maintaining precision.

Document Types We Handle

Loan Agreements

Loan documentation forms the core of lending relationships:

• Principal amount and currency
• Interest rate provisions (fixed, floating, SOFR-based)
• Repayment schedule and amortization
• Prepayment terms and penalties
• Financial covenants (leverage ratios, coverage ratios)
• Representations and warranties
• Events of default
• Remedies and acceleration rights

DocMods reviews loan agreements against your standard forms and market conventions, flagging deviations that require attention.

Credit Facility Agreements

Complex credit facilities require comprehensive documentation:

• Revolving credit commitments
• Term loan tranches
• Letter of credit subfacilities
• Swingline provisions
• Borrowing base calculations

Term Sheets

Term sheets establish deal parameters before definitive documentation:

DocMods compares term sheets against market standards and your deal history.
