When to use it.
Letter of Intent is a two-page LOI for buying a business or its assets, shown for an agency acquiring a design studio. It opens with the price as one clear figure and a table of how it is paid, in cash at closing, a holdback and an earn-out, then sets out numbered terms: the structure, the holdback and earn-out targets, what happens to the people, due diligence and its dates, and the conditions. A separate section lists the only provisions that bind, exclusivity, confidentiality, costs and governing law, and says plainly that nothing else does. It ends with the date the offer lapses and countersignature blocks for both sides.
