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.

📜 Service Description

A Vakilify-drafted LOI typically includes:

  • Parties Involved – Names and roles of each party

  • Purpose of LOI – Investment, partnership, sale, or service agreement

  • Key Terms – Scope, timeline, deliverables, and expectations

  • Confidentiality Clause – Optional NDA-type provision

  • Binding vs. Non-Binding Nature – Clear definition of enforceability

  • Next Steps – Target date for final agreement or due diligence

  • Termination Clause – How and when the LOI can be withdrawn

Used an LOI to start a long-term contract with a US client. It gave both of us clarity without jumping into a full agreement.
