Generate an LOI that sets the deal up to close. Binding where it matters.

A Letter of Intent (LOI) outlines the key terms of a deal before the definitive agreement gets drafted. Most LOIs are mostly non-binding (term sheet style) with a few binding provisions (exclusivity, confidentiality, governing law). Get the binding-non-binding split wrong and you create unintended obligations or signal weakness in negotiation. We generate LOIs for M&A, partnerships, real estate, and executive hires with the right structure.

FAQ

About the Letter of Intent (LOI) Generator.

Is an LOI binding?

Mostly non-binding (term sheet style) with a few binding provisions. Standard binding: exclusivity, confidentiality, expense allocation, governing law. Standard non-binding: purchase price, payment structure, representations and warranties (those go into the definitive agreement).

Why use an LOI?

Aligns both sides on key deal terms before spending money on definitive agreements. Locks in exclusivity (seller cannot shop). Signals seriousness to lenders, investors, and the target's employees. Sets timeline expectations.

What is exclusivity?

Seller agrees not to negotiate with other potential buyers for a defined period (typically 60-90 days for M&A). In exchange, buyer commits to negotiate in good faith and pay expenses. Most important binding clause in an M&A LOI.

Should I sign an LOI without an attorney?

For small deals (under $1M), maybe. For anything larger, get attorney review. Even non-binding LOI provisions create negotiating anchors that are hard to walk back.

What is the standard timeline?

Sign LOI, then 60-90 days of due diligence and definitive agreement drafting, then close within 30 days of definitive signing. Total: 90-120 days from LOI to close for most M&A. Real estate is faster (30-60 days).

What if the deal does not close?

Most LOIs include a 'subject to definitive agreement' clause: if the parties cannot reach a definitive agreement, neither side has obligations beyond the binding provisions (confidentiality, expense allocation). Real estate LOIs often include a deposit that may or may not be refundable depending on the contingency.
