A simple, professional letter of intent you can customize and download in minutes

A letter of intent (LOI) is a short letter that tells another party you are serious about doing a deal and sets out the main points, before a formal contract is negotiated. This template is a standard, plain-English, jurisdiction-neutral letter format that works for any business transaction - to purchase, acquire, partner in, license, invest in or lease a business, asset or opportunity. It walks you through the essentials: the subject of the transaction, the consideration you propose, the conditions (like due diligence, exclusivity and confidentiality), a clear note that the letter is not a binding offer, and your expected timing.

Just answer a few simple questions - your details and the recipient's, the type of transaction, the subject, your proposed consideration, the conditions and the timing - and your personalized letter of intent is generated instantly, ready to download as PDF or Word.

What this letter of intent includes

- A clean business-letter format - sender block, date, recipient block, salutation and sign-off

- An intent-action selector (purchase, acquire, partner, license, invest, lease, or other) so the letter fits any deal

- A clear statement of the subject of the transaction and what it covers

- Your proposed consideration, including amounts and timing

- The conditions for the transaction - due diligence, exclusivity and confidentiality

- A firm "not a binding offer" paragraph making clear the deal will be finalized only through a formal agreement, while keeping confidentiality and exclusivity binding

- Your expected timing if selected to proceed

- A professional closing and signature block with your name and title

Who is this letter of intent for?

Business owners, buyers, sellers, investors and freelancers who want to open a deal professionally and put their interest in writing before drafting a full contract. Because it is jurisdiction-neutral and deal-agnostic, you choose the transaction type and describe the specifics, so the same letter works for buying or selling a business or asset, forming a partnership, licensing, investing, or a property deal.

Disclaimer: This template is provided for convenience and general information only and is not legal advice. Whether a letter of intent (or any part of it) is legally binding depends on its wording and on local law, and complex or high-value deals need a formal, definitive agreement. For significant transactions, have the final documents reviewed by a qualified lawyer before signing.
