SMB Law Group 2026 LOI Template

Exciting announcement 🚨 For the past few weeks, we’ve been in the lab at SMB Law Group rebuilding our LOI template from the ground up for 2026 lower-middle-market acquisitions. This version incorporates 4 years of data, 500+ transaction outcomes, and $1.6B+ in closed LMM deals, doubling down on what actually works and protecting against what historically breaks deals. The goals: > Kill bad deals earlier > Reduce post-LOI retrades > Fewer busted deals after QoE > Cleaner financing and SBA alignment > Clearer working capital mechanics > Terms that plug directly into definitive docs > Faster, smoother negotiations > Higher close rates for serious buyers and sellers Our current close-to-busted ratio at SMB Law is ~70/30... well above industry averages. We expect this to push it even higher. Follow along. Release coming in the next few days.
