Affiliation Process

How Inperium relationships come to life

What to expect

Regardless of your industry, becoming an Inperium affiliate is a process that typically takes 6-13 months to complete. We want to make sure a relationship is a good idea for both of us so we can offer the best to our entire constellation. 

While every affiliation is unique—and M&A and TSA relationships have a slightly different workflow—here’s a breakdown of a typical process and timeline, and what you can expect on your journey to an Inperium relationship.
 

From “Hello”
Non-disclosure agreement

We start with an NDA. Since we want to be able to speak openly and frankly about our business and yours, confidentiality is paramount. We want you to feel comfortable sharing details about your organization, and we’ll do the same.

5 business days
Letter of intent

Here’s where we summarize what we intend to do with the relationship. The letter of intent protects your organization and Inperium through the affiliation process until we have a definitive legal agreement.

7-10 business days
Month 1
Due diligence

Let’s make sure we’re a good fit for each other. Your organization and Inperium spend 60 days doing a fiscal, programmatic, business operations, and legal review. We also conduct a risk and technology assessment and get any approvals we may need to move forward with a relationship.

15-60 business days

Month 3
Definitive agreement

Once we’ve done our due diligence, we define the terms of our affiliation. We agree on board actions, consents, modifications, assignments, and notices. We also go over employment contracts for your key staff and administrative and management services agreements.
