In this week's episode of Dealmaking with Laura DiFrancesco, I focus on one of the most critical components of any business acquisition: the Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI isn't just a preliminary step—it's the foundation that shapes the entire transaction. Join me as I discuss the importance of getting the LOI right from the start, covering key elements such as purchase price, deal structure, and the nuances of binding versus non-binding terms.
