Letter of Intent

Formally expresses intent to enter a business relationship, negotiate a deal, or make a purchase. Sets the framework for future negotiations.

Why you need one

Formal intent

Shows you're serious about the deal — not just exploring. Sets a professional tone for negotiations.

Framework for negotiation

Establishes the key terms and timeline before lawyers draft the full agreement.

Non-binding protection

Explicitly states this is not a binding commitment — you're expressing interest, not obligation.

Due diligence access

Often used to gain access to confidential information for due diligence before a purchase.
