The LOI can be the most important part of a deal and should be carefully designed so that the intent of both the buyer and seller is clearly defined, including what the seller is willing to sell for the proposed price and terms and what the buyer is willing to pay.

Working with a licensed investment banker, such as those at Doeren Mayhew Capital Advisors, can help you negotiate LOI based on what you hope to gain from the deal. For more information on the M&A process and how to ensure to maximize your deal, contact us today.
