    What is a Non-Deal Roadshow?

    Are you planning your first non-deal roadshow?

    In this article, we’ll explain what a non-deal roadshow (NDR) is and the importance of partnering with the right professionals to help manage the logistics for your event.

    What is a non-deal roadshow (NDR)?

    A non-deal roadshow is a type of financial roadshow that allows businesses to communicate important company information to existing and potential investors without the pressure of an imminent fundraising event or transaction.

    During a traditional NDR, a company meets with multiple investors within one city or location over and presents information about its vision, performance, and strategic direction.

    While some companies now opt to conduct virtual non-deal roadshows online, many argue that this can be less effective for relationship building than meeting with investors face-to-face.

    What is the purpose of a non-deal roadshow?

    The main purpose of a non-deal roadshow is to communicate important information with investors, generate interest, improve market perception, and build long-term relationships.

    NDRs also provide companies with an opportunity to gather feedback from investors and analysts about their reputation and position within the market.

    What is the difference between a roadshow and a non-deal roadshow?

    Many businesses organise roadshows in the lead-up to an IPO (initial public offering).

    These roadshows are intended as a sales pitch or promotional event to drum up investor interest in the company before it goes public.

    The main difference with a non-deal roadshow is that it is not connected with an IPO or other transaction.

    Instead, its main purpose is to build long-term investor trust and increase the company’s visibility.

    Organising travel for a non-deal roadshow

    Roadshows are high-pressure events, and your clients need to be transported from point A to point B in comfort and style.

    Travel arrangements must be planned carefully to avoid delays, missed appointments, and tarnished reputations.

    Whether you’re organising air travel, ground travel, or both – you need peace of mind that the travel partners you choose have the skills and experience required to provide professional and seamless transportation – even when complex travel itineraries are involved.

    Remember, the standard of service provided by the businesses that you opt to partner with will reflect on the quality of your own offering, so it’s crucial that you choose carefully.
