What to check before you buy
Moving from IMS to Syndelo
Export your investors, investing entities, commitments, contributions, distributions, and documents from IMS. We load them into Syndelo and you check the totals (commitments, paid-in capital, ownership, and distributions to date) before any investor is invited. Growth includes guided onboarding and Scale includes dedicated migration assistance. A migration is a reconciliation, not a one-click import, so plan a few weeks of overlap.
