What is a letter of intent (LOI)?

A letter of intent is a document declaring your serious intention to pursue an opportunity — a job, business deal, property purchase, or academic program. It outlines key terms and signals commitment before a formal agreement.

Is a letter of intent legally binding?

Generally, an LOI is not legally binding unless it explicitly states otherwise. However, certain provisions like confidentiality or exclusivity clauses within an LOI can be enforceable. Always consult a legal professional for binding agreements.

When should I use a letter of intent?

Use an LOI when you want to formalize your interest before signing a contract — for job offers, real estate purchases, business acquisitions, mergers, or graduate school applications.

What should a letter of intent include?

A clear statement of intent, the parties involved, key terms or conditions, a proposed timeline, any contingencies, and next steps. Keep it concise and professional.
