Free Resource Download – 12 LOI Landmines Cheat Sheet

What Smart Sellers Spot Before Signing an LOI

This one-page cheat sheet reveals the hidden risks that can derail your deal or drain your proceeds.

After negotiating dozens of LOIs for IT business owners, I created this guide to help you spot the traps before you sign – protecting your deal, your leverage, and your proceeds. 

 

When a Letter of Intent (LOI) lands in your inbox, it’s easy to focus on the headline purchase price. But here’s the truth….

The real risk is often buried in the fine print or what’s NOT written.

These surprises can cost you millions, tie you up for months, or lock you into post-sale obligations you never expected.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The 12 most common LOI landmines that derail deals and erode value.
  • What these terms really mean for your payout and outcomes.
  • How to defuse each landmine before you commit to exclusivity.

Why This Matters:

Your leverage is highest before you sign the LOI. Once exclusivity begins, it gets exponentially harder to fix unfavorable terms. This cheat sheet will help you:

  • Avoid painful surprises.
  • Ask sharper questions before you sign.
  • Walk into negotiations with confidence.

Get your free cheat sheet now and make sure you’re protecting more than just the top-line number.
