How can I upload an externally finalized safe?
Introduction
Our safe financing products make it easy to issue safes to investors, whether you’re looking to issue safes with valuation caps, discounts, or both.
In some rare cases, investors may get confused and accidentally hand-sign the safe, or else have an internal policy against electronic signatures. If this happens, you can finalize the safe off of Clerky and upload it afterwards.
Steps
The steps to upload an externally finalized safe differ slightly depending on whether you have a safe financing in progress on Clerky or are starting a new safe financing.

If your company has issued a safe outside of Clerky but doesn't have a safe financing in progress on Clerky, your company likely finalized a board consent approving the safe financing outside of Clerky as well. You can upload an externally finalized board consent by selecting Upload Externally Finalized Board Consent from the More (···) menu for the Board Consent step.
