Non Binding
It should be clearly mentioned that it is a non-binding contract. The letter should only have negotiation points and should not reveal too much about the actual business deal. If you don’t do this, the other party involved in the deal could easily sue you for breach of contract if you walk out on that deal.
Neatly Written
It should be written in a neat and lucid manner and clearly define the intent of all the entities involved regarding the business agreement. You should go through the different types of business letter styles available and choose something which looks neat, simple, and highly professional.
Press Release
After all the entities involved in the deal sign the memorandum of understanding, a joint press release should be issued. It sends a very positive message to the stockholders of the businesses involved.
Time Frame
A memorandum of understanding should always mention a time frame within which the deal should be closed. This is very important. Once you sign the letter and issue a press release, all eyes will be on you. So, the sooner you close the deal, the better it is for the image of the entities involved.
Confidentiality
A confidentiality agreement is something which is an integral part of any business deal. By signing a confidentiality agreement, all the entities involved in the deal promise that the information exchanged during the negotiation will remain confidential at any cost. These are some of the tips you should keep in mind while drafting a business letter of intent. You should always consult a good lawyer before drafting it, as he will be able to foresee the consequences – both good and bad – and draft the letter accordingly.
