A handshake, in writing.
A Letter of Intent (LOI) spells out the key terms of a deal — price, structure, timing — before you spend real money on lawyers, accountants, or due diligence. It keeps both sides pointed at the same target.
Tell us a few things about the business you're buying and the deal you're working on. We'll generate a clean draft LOI and email it to you — usually within 15 minutes.
Most small-business acquisitions start with a Letter of Intent. It's a short document that shows the seller you're serious, locks in confidentiality, and sets the shape of the deal before anyone hires an attorney to draft the purchase agreement.

Our LOIs include a binding confidentiality clause. Anything the seller shares with you — financials, customer lists, trade secrets — stays between you. This part is enforceable, even if the deal never closes.
The price and terms in an LOI are a starting point, not a contract. You can walk away if due diligence turns something up. Only a small set of provisions — confidentiality, exclusivity, expenses — are binding.
What kind of purchase is this? Most small-business deals are asset purchases — they're cleaner and usually better for the buyer.
