Does the VC ask for too much info?

Question

Presentation, team CV, high level analytics, private product access and such are probably very customary as something to give to a VC before he gives any clear intent. But we were wondering about requests about PnL, budget, Google Analytics access, and a detailed work plan. Before there is an actual intent and a concrete plan to move forward, is that too much to ask from the VC side? What's the best way to communicate this?

If the VC has shown interest past an initial review, ask for an MOU for moving forward to the next phase of more detailed evaluation and ask for a fee to hold open the option to invest. The VC should know that your company values it's knowledge. The VC should do a thorough due diligence but your company should be compensated for the time period that it is not actively seeking funding elsewhere.
