Letter of Intent (Acquisition)
Last updated: March 2026
Plain English
If Pre. wants to acquire your business at day 90, we issue this Letter of Intent. It is completely non-binding. You are under zero obligation to accept, negotiate, or even respond. Most engagements end without one.
This document is optional and only relevant if Pre. believes an acquisition is the right outcome for both parties at day 90.
The vast majority of Pre. engagements end without an LOI. Pre. will never pressure or incentivize a founder toward a sale. The LOI is provided only when Pre. believes the fit is genuinely right — and only the founder decides what happens next.
