The Letter Of Intent Business Partnership is a crucial preliminary document used in Swiss business practice when two or more entities are considering entering into a formal business partnership. It serves as a roadmap for negotiations and demonstrates serious intent while maintaining flexibility before final commitments are made. This document type is particularly relevant in the Swiss business environment, where it aligns with the principles of the Swiss Code of Obligations and Swiss commercial practice. It typically includes essential elements such as the scope of the proposed partnership, key commercial terms, confidentiality provisions, and exclusivity periods if applicable. While generally non-binding in nature (except for specific provisions), it plays a vital role in establishing the framework for negotiations and future collaboration. The document is commonly used during the early stages of business relationships, mergers, joint ventures, or strategic alliances, providing a structured approach to partnership development while protecting both parties' interests under Swiss law.
