Deal templates for small business acquisitions.

Yes. Every template is free to download and use on any transaction, whether or not you use Rejigg.

A Letter of Intent covers the proposed purchase price, deal structure (asset vs. stock), exclusivity period, seller financing terms, non-compete and transition provisions, and a timeline for due diligence and closing. Our template includes both asset-purchase and stock-purchase versions.

Most small business acquisitions are structured as asset purchases, where you buy specific assets and assume specific liabilities. Stock purchases transfer ownership of the entire entity. Asset purchases are simpler and give the buyer a stepped-up tax basis; stock purchases are more common for larger or more complex deals. Our LOI template includes both.

Focus on why they're selling, how long they've owned the business, the transition plan, customer concentration, and what they see as the biggest growth opportunity. Our interview template covers these and more, organized by topic.

Our checklist has 60+ items across financial, operational, legal, tax, HR, IT, and insurance categories. Not every item applies to every deal, but it's better to start comprehensive and cut what doesn't apply than to miss something.

A flow-of-funds document maps exactly where the money goes at closing: purchase price allocation, loan proceeds, working-capital adjustments, escrow deposits, wire instructions, and closing costs. It ensures every party agrees on the math before wires are sent.

These templates are starting points built from real deal experience, not legal advice. We recommend having an M&A attorney review any document before you sign it. The templates save you time and money by giving your attorney a solid draft to work from rather than starting from scratch.
