Contracts for small businesses.
A shop, a workshop, a firm of six: the contracts are real and the legal department is you. Describe what you agreed with a customer or a supplier, read the contract in plain language, and send it. Making a contract is free, and the person you send it to never pays.
For small business
What a small business can do here.
One field, not a form
Say what you agreed: who, what, how much, by when. The contract comes back in plain language and you read it before anything moves. Nothing is emailed and nothing is signed until you press it yourself.
How it worksA customer or a supplier replies in the browser
They get a link. They read the contract, reply to a clause in their own words and put their name to it. No account, no fee, nothing to install, on a phone as much as at a desk.
The other sideChange a term without another attachment
Change one clause and say why in a line. The other side answers on the same contract, each change marked and each acceptance recorded, so the history is the document.
RedlinesStart from a shelf
The catalogue describes 87 kinds of contract on the shelves a business reaches for: services, buying and selling, employment, premises. 12 of them are in the library.
Every kind of contractStart with a template
Kinds from the catalogue that fit this desk.
- Services agreementIn the libraryThe contract behind ongoing work for a client: what you will do, what it costs, who owns the result, and how either side ends it.
- Terms of saleThe seller's standard conditions, published or attached to every quote and invoice, so each sale runs on the same terms.
- Employment agreementThe full terms of a job: duties, pay, hours, holiday, notice, and the promises that carry on after the person leaves.
- Supply agreementA standing arrangement to keep supplying: volumes, lead times, prices over time, quality, and what happens when supply fails.
- Commercial leaseBusiness premises taken for a term: the rent, the repairs, what the space may be used for, and how the lease ends.
- QuotationA priced offer with a shelf life: what is included, what it costs, how long the price holds, and what turns it into a contract.
Governing law this desk often names: England and Wales, California, Ontario — or several at once. Every governing law.
The next contract you send can be read by both sides.
The other side never pays and never makes an account.
