We recognize that using the proper contracts, invoices, and forms is a vital step for small businesses to prevent legal issues. Alongside selecting the appropriate business entity, having suitable contracts in place can help ensure your business operates with minimal legal risk. As each business has unique issues, utilizing a form purchased or downloaded for free online may not be appropriate or sufficient for your particular business requirements. Allow us to review your current contracts, or we can create customized contracts tailored to your business and your clients.

Obtaining professional assistance with your business contract writing makes your life easier and protects your business. Here are ten common challenges that business owners face when trying to write their own contracts:

Lack of legal expertise.

Business owners often lack the legal expertise necessary to write contracts that are legally sound and comprehensive.

Contracts are time consuming.

Contract drafting is a time-consuming process, and small business owners may not have the time to devote to it while also managing other aspects of their business.

Lack of understanding.

Business owners may not fully understand the legal requirements and implications of the contract they are creating, which can lead to costly legal issues down the line.

Poor contract language.

Poor contract language can lead to misunderstandings and disputes, which can be costly to resolve.

Legal jargon.

Legal jargon can be difficult to understand and interpret, making it challenging for business owners to write contracts that are clear and concise.

Inconsistencies.

Inconsistencies in language or structure can create ambiguity and make it challenging to enforce the terms of the contract.

Failure to address key issues.

Business owners may overlook key issues that need to be addressed in the contract, which can lead to legal problems down the line.

Failure to negotiate.

Business owners may fail to negotiate the terms of the contract, leading to unfavorable or unenforceable terms.

Failure to update contracts.

Business owners may fail to update their contracts to reflect changes in their business, legal requirements, or industry standards, which can render the contract invalid or unenforceable.

Limited scope.

Business owners may have a limited understanding of the scope of the contract and its implications, which can limit their ability to protect their business interests.
