1. Vague or Missing Binding Provisions
Many LOIs fail to clearly specify which provisions are binding (exclusivity, confidentiality, expense sharing). This creates enforceability confusion and potential disputes.
2. Inadequate Purchase Price Terms
LOIs often lack clarity on working capital adjustments, debt assumptions, escrow amounts, or earnout structures - leading to disputes during definitive agreement negotiations.
3. Weak Exclusivity Protection
Buyers invest time and money in due diligence. Without proper exclusivity terms (with breakup fees), sellers can use your offer to shop the deal or accept a better offer mid-stream.
4. Unrealistic Timelines
Michigan deals typically take 60-90 days from LOI to closing. LOIs with 30-day timelines set up false expectations and create unnecessary pressure that kills deals.
5. Missing Conditions Precedent
LOIs should identify deal-breakers upfront: satisfactory due diligence, financing contingencies, regulatory approvals (LARA licenses), third-party consents. Missing conditions = dispute risk.
