What Is a Letter of Intent to Purchase a Business?

A Letter of Intent to Purchase a Business is a written statement prepared and signed by the seller and purchaser of the business that indicates their intention to enter into a legally binding contract to transfer the ownership of the company. Although the letter is unenforceable and does not guarantee that the parties will go through with a proposed deal, it helps to speed up the process of negotiations, builds up trust between the seller and the buyer who are able to confirm their intentions to sell and purchase business, and informs the parties about the mutual expectations and requirements.
