Contracts

Are all of your business contracts in writing or do you work on a handshake basis?

Most businesses enter into agreements every day; it is part of owning and running a company. Many types of contracts exist. Depending on your business, you may enter into agreements with vendors, clients, independent contractors, or some other person or entity. Generally speaking, you should have all of your business agreements documented in writing. This is recommended for your protection and the protection of your entity. Having your agreements in writing is important because contracts spell out the terms of the agreement not only at the conception of the business relationship, but also in the future when potential conflicts may need to be resolved.
