What is a Letter of Intent (LOI)?
A Letter of Intent (LOI) is a formal document that outlines the preliminary terms of a business deal or transaction — such as a partnership, investment, acquisition, or service engagement — before final agreements are signed.
It sets the foundation for trust and alignment by clearly stating intentions, key terms, and whether the LOI is binding or non-binding.
LOIs are ideal for startups, investors, freelancers, and business owners entering serious discussions but not yet ready to commit to a full contract.
