A term sheet is a foundational, often non-binding, document that outlines the primary terms and conditions of a business deal, most notably in the context of investments and acquisitions. It serves as a critical precursor to more detailed, legally binding contracts, allowing parties to agree on the essential aspects of a transaction before committing significant resources to due diligence and legal drafting. Understanding term sheets is crucial for anyone involved in startups, venture capital, corporate development, or commercial real estate.
