The paperwork is on your side.

Every protection here is a gate the platform enforces, not a promise.

§1 – §5

Five gates, built into every deal.

VerifiedNDALOILPARecord
  1. §1

    Only verified buyers.

    KYC and accreditation checks clear before a buyer can bid or open a data room.

    PSA §3.7 · PSA §4.3 · Rule 501, Reg D

  2. §2

    Your fund stays blind.

    Before a signed NDA, buyers see a blinded teaser: no fund name, no GP.

    Mutual NDA · Blinded teaser pre-invite

  3. §3

    Free to walk away.

    Bids and the LOI are non-binding. Either party may withdraw before the purchase agreement without liability.

    LOI §3 (non-binding) · PSA Art. II (binding on execution)

  4. §4

    Your LPA sets the rules.

    GP consent, ROFR and ROFO windows, and LPAC approval are read from the LPA and followed exactly.

    PSA §5.1 GP consent · PSA §5.2 ROFO/ROFR · PSA §5.3 LPAC

  5. §5

    Every step on record.

    Each indication, signature, and status change writes to a timestamped audit log as it happens.

    Per-deal audit log · §1.7704-1(g)(2)(iii) records

§7704 · Safe harbor

The calendar is a federal safe harbor.

Trades through a qualified matching service (Treas. Reg. §1.7704‑1(g)) don’t count against a fund’s transfer ceiling. The desk runs that calendar as hard gates.

Illustrative listing clockDay 0
  1. Day 0Listed

    Offering information reaches matched buyers; the timestamp is logged.

  2. Day 15Binding docs

    Bids stay nonfirm indications until the 15th calendar day. §1.7704-1(g)(2)(iii)

  3. Day 45Closing

    No closing before the 45th calendar day after listing. §1.7704-1(g)(2)(iv)

  4. Day 120Delisting

    Unsold listings come off buyer surfaces; 60-day cooldown before any re-offer. §1.7704-1(g)(2)(vi)

The Boring Desk has not registered or otherwise formally established a Qualified Matching Service designation. This is general information, not legal, tax, or investment advice, and not a representation that any transfer qualifies for any safe harbor. Confirm the treatment of any transaction with your own counsel.
