Term Sheet

Introduction

A term sheet is a bullet-point document for startups which lays down the proposed terms and conditions for investment and is only for discussion purposes. A well-structured investment term sheet acts as a base for final Agreements such as Shareholder’s Agreements. A term sheet is considered to be an essential document by the entrepreneurs to attract investors.

Term Sheet assures that parties involved in the business transaction agree on the significant and fundamental aspects of the deal. On the other hand, it minimizes the chance of any misunderstanding and any unnecessary disputes between the parties in future.
