I’m currently evaluating a business listed by a broker, and the broker is suggesting that I skip the traditional LOI step and instead put in an “offer with contingencies.” Has anyone here encountered a situation where the broker pushed for an offer instead of an LOI? • What should I watch out for? • Are there risks in going this route compared to a standard LOI? • Could this create issues around exclusivity, leverage, or negotiating room later? Would love to hear any experiences or advice from folks who’ve been through this before.
