There are two main types of NDAs for businesses: mutual and one-way.
Mutual NDAs are agreements between two parties, in which both parties agree to keep each other’s confidential information confidential. This type of NDA is often used in the context of negotiations between two companies or in the due diligence process when a potential buyer is evaluating a business for acquisition.
One-way NDAs are agreements between a disclosing party and a recipient, in which only the recipient is obligated to keep the confidential information confidential. This type of NDA is often used in situations where one party is disclosing confidential information to another party for a specific purpose, such as when working with contractors or consultants.
