]]> In this post, Lubna Gem Arielle sets out key learnings from 6 Minute Bites’ masterclass:

‘Contracts Demystified: Written agreements as a tool for organisational success.’

SURPRISE! Most informal, verbal agreements are legally binding contracts
Click To Tweet

Relationships can flounder. Without a written contract, what OUGHT to be done is a matter of opinion
Click To Tweet

Nothing in writing? For your time, money & energy, a court will decide who’s right when you disagree
Click To Tweet

TRUST: warm as wool, tangles as points of view vary. Set the pattern for a shared agenda in writing
Click To Tweet

Set out who does what & when for ease & grace in relationships. An email exchange will do
Click To Tweet

Good for cash-flow! A written agreement paves the way to prompt payment
Click To Tweet

Written contracts stave off disputes & you can include mechanisms to deal with any that crop up
Click To Tweet

Always instruct a lawyer for complex matters & where the stakes are high
Click To Tweet

Set yourself up for success. Don’t rely on trust. Tease out the relationship & Get it Down in Writing

As a small business owner or entrepreneur, it can be tempting to enter into business arrangements informally, believing that we can rely on trust and being afraid that we will insult or alienate our clients with a suggestion of formality. Funnily enough, I’ve seen ‘both sides’ succumb to this fear, believing that it is to accommodate the other!
