Finance: What is a term sheet? 10 Views
Share It!
Description:
What is a term sheet? When parties have negotiated terms between themselves for an ensuing transaction, a term sheet, or memorandum of understanding, will often be written, which outlines the pertinent details of what, where, how and when of the transaction in question in a non-binding document. It usually will serve as the reference from which the attorneys will draft the actual contract and add in all of the legalese provisions, disclaimers, and other clauses for mitigating liability on each side.
