Can I submit confidential business information?

You should not submit confidential business information unless you are authorized to do so, the information is necessary for the relevant GRA pathway, and the submission is made through an approved controlled process. 

Confidential business information may include business plans, financial models, customer lists, vendor contracts, technology specifications, pricing strategy, product roadmaps, proprietary methods, internal risk assessments, board materials, strategy documents, insurance schedules, capital plans, or other non-public organizational materials. 

If confidential business information is required for a finance-readiness, Project SPV-readiness, National Nexus Consortium Company readiness, Capital-Reader Room, Insurance-Readiness Room, or institutional participation review, the submission should be limited, clearly marked, properly authorized, and routed through the correct official docket. 

Participants should not upload or email broad confidential files simply because they believe it will strengthen their case. GRA needs only the minimum information required to understand the readiness question. 

Submitting confidential business information does not create investment review, underwriting review, lending review, endorsement, procurement status, partnership, or commercial protection. The participant remains responsible for ensuring that the information may lawfully and properly be shared. 

When in doubt, submit a high-level summary first and ask what level of detail is appropriate.
