At the start of a working relationship between a freelancer and a business, formal agreements are often forgotten or dismissed. However, it’s critical for both sides to employ a set of agreement strategies. Consult with a lawyer if necessary.
These strategies involve various ways of clarifying the relationship ahead of time. Consider using documents like a non-compete agreement, non-disclosure agreement and/or non-solicitation agreement. You also may want to designate who “owns” the work.
Other considerations can include the freelancer’s business structure, insurance, payment terms, service scope and termination.

Business interruption insurance can help your company recover from a crisis, but it doesn't include everything.

Business interruption insurance can help your company recover from a crisis, but it doesn't include everything.

At the start of a working relationship between a freelancer and a business, formal agreements are often forgotten or dismissed. However, it’s critical for both sides to employ a set of agreement strategies. Consult with a lawyer if necessary.
These strategies involve various ways of clarifying the relationship ahead of time. Consider using documents like a non-compete agreement, non-disclosure agreement and/or non-solicitation agreement. You also may want to designate who “owns” the work.
Other considerations can include the freelancer’s business structure, insurance, payment terms, service scope and termination.
