What is an Independent Contractor Agreement?

As a business owner, you want to communicate your expectations clearly and openly with your contractors.

The independent contractor agreement defines the business relationship between you and your contractor to ensure that they are not misclassified leaving you with the risk of having the government crack down on you because you didn't pay the correct amount of taxes, getting audited, being held liable for a lawsuit if a staff member gets hurt, intellectual property being "stolen" or used "unjustly" due to confusion of who actually owns it, and being forced to pay an expensive amount of back taxes to the government.

Clearly classifying your independent contractor in this agreement gives you peace of mind and protects your business and assets. 

Who is the Independent Agreement?

It is for any professional who has independent contractors working with them.

What happens if you don't have it?

If you don't have it, you run the risk of someone alleging that they were an employee. You run the risk of losing your intellectual property. You run the risk of having challenges in the relationship because you didn't communicate openly and honestly from the start.

How do I use it?

You use it by getting your independent contractor to sign it before you start working with them.

Here is what happens once you purchase:

1. You will receive two emails. One with our Client Welcome form to officially become a  client (if you are an existing client you can disregard this). The 2nd email will be to fill out a form specific to the agreement you're purchasing.  This is required for us to get to work  on drafting your agreement!
