Contracts are central to doing any business. As a small or medium business owner you are forming written and verbal contracts with customers and suppliers regularly.
Having no contract or a poorly drafted contract can be costly to your business. This is especially so when no one knows what they are required to supply, perform or pay. If this leads to disputes the cost to a business can go into the $100,000's and beyond. A small investment in a good contract now can help protect your business from larger dispute costs in the future.
At SLB Legal we believe in drafting contracts to prevent dispute, rather than waiting to resolve a dispute once it starts. We can help with most commercial contracts for small and medium business. Some of the most common of these include the following:
- Service Sale or Supply Agreements.
- Goods/Products Sale or Supply Agreements.
- Sale or Purchase of Business.
- Commercial/Retail Leases.
- Distribution and Reseller Agreements.
- Shareholder Agreements/Founders Agreements;
- Company Constitutions;
- IT/Software/SaaS/Licensing Agreements.
- Standard Terms and Conditions.
- Subcontracting Agreements.
- Consultancy Agreements.
- Privacy Policies and Website Terms of Use.
- Non-Disclosure Agreements/Confidentiality Agreements.
- Quote and Purchase Order Terms.
- Product Warranties.
- Disclaimers.
At SLB Legal we believe that a contract should be tailored to a business and the transaction made under it to be effective. Don't get caught using a standard template Agreement which does not protect your business or is not suitable for your business dealings.
Your business, your commercial goals and your legal risks are unique to your business. Why should your contracts and legal advice be any different?
The deal struck with your customers and suppliers is crucial to the success of your business. Don't leave your hard work undocumented and unprotected.
