Letter of Intent (LOI) Template
Formalize acquisition interest
Overview
The Letter of Intent (LOI) template serves as a non-binding agreement outlining the preliminary terms and conditions of a proposed merger or acquisition. It helps both parties establish a framework for negotiation and signals serious intent without full legal commitment. This template streamlines the initial stages of a transaction, saving time and legal costs.
Purpose
Members use this template to formally propose a deal's key terms or to respond to such a proposal, setting the stage for detailed negotiations.
Why it matters
A well-structured LOI clarifies expectations, defines the scope of due diligence, and establishes a timeline, reducing misunderstandings and accelerating the deal process.
Unlock the full playbook
The step-by-step instructions, AI companion prompt, worked example, common mistakes and downloadable files are available to members.
When to use it
Use this template after initial discussions confirm mutual interest and a basic understanding of deal terms is established.
