PLAYBOOK TEMPLATES
Letter of Intent (LOI)
A Letter of Intent expresses preliminary terms for a potential transaction, outlining intent before formal contracts. This playbook clarifies binding vs. non-binding provisions and confidentiality obligations.
Payment Terms & Conditions
Negotiation strategy
Ensure that payment terms align with the company's cash flow needs. Negotiate for favorable payment milestones and clear invoicing requirements to avoid delays.
Advocate for a payment schedule that supports project cash flow. Ensure late payment remedies are enforceable and protect against non-payment risks.
