If I am a seller, I am going to insist that I have this letter establishing the economics of the deal before I agree to allow my company to be turned inside out with buyer staff and advisors.

If I am still short on price and terms, I continue to sell the company to other interested buyers.
If I am the buyer, I want the seller to commit to my economic parameters before I spend thousands going through due diligence. The other important element of the LOI from the buyer’s perspective is exclusivity. The buyer will lock up this company for a period of from 30 days to 90 days to complete their due diligence and execute mutually agreeable definitive purchase agreements. That means that in return for the time, effort and expense of due diligence, the seller and his business broker or merger and acquisition advisor are not allowed to actively market the business to other interested parties.

Focus your efforts on the economic parameters and conserve your legal budget. You will need your attorney most for his help with the purchase agreements.
