Top 6 Reasons to use these professionally written legal agreements

These have been torture-tested by us first
We just don't believe that stationery store business contracts or the freebies you may find on the web will really protect your business and build good relationships. We're all for saving money and getting a good deal, but we're more interested in helping you to lay a solid foundation for your business. We gathered these sample business contracts into a real collection that you can use. We've paid our attorneys and used these contracts ourselves, learned from the deals made, and then refined them further to make sure that we do even better the next time.

Annotations throughout each legal sample contract template are like having a smart lawyer sitting beside you
Attorneys' comments and notations throughout each sample business contract assure that you understand each section and explain what to do and why. The comments can even be left in to help clarify specific points during negotiations.

A legal sample business contract template in plain-English is better for everyone
Sometimes the legalese get in the way of a good deal. Until now, many contracts have been written with almost complete disregard for the potential emotional impact of the wording. You are doing business with people driven by the realities of nature — human nature. Have you ever lost a sale or waited to complete a sale because a customer needed their legal department to review and approve your sales contract? All of the sample business contracts in Agreement Builder are complete, understandable, and appealing to the feelings as well as the logic of the people involved with your deals. However, we've upgraded most of the legalese to plain-English so that you and your customers, suppliers, reps, employees and others can easily understand these agreements and do business with you.

Shrewd sample legal language prepares for investors and potential acquirers
In the event you'll want to sell your business in the future, the business relationships you are establishing now can add considerable value. Investors and acquirers will want to review your agreements to be certain that your deals (the deals they will acquire) are well documented—and assignable to them. Considering their interests now in all of your business agreements can save you a small fortune in future legal fees, "due-diligence" and/or renegotiations with partners. Where logical, we've built proper "asssignability" into these sample business contracts — you can assign your agreement to a 3rd party without prior approval...

"Alternative Dispute Resolution" clauses help avoid lawsuits
Furthermore, to prevent unnecessary lawsuits and legal action, we've included language on "alternative dispute resolution" by inserting sections defining arbitration and mediation to avoid lawsuit and the costs of drawn-out legal action..

Learn more about business law with The Handbook of Business Contracts
Within the included Handbook of Business Contracts we've even provided a mini-course in business law to give you a strong grasp of the basic legal principles involved. (This manual comes in PDF format with electronic bookmarks making it easy to find and click on the sections you want to read.)

...while Agreement Builder won't replace your attorney, it may just keep your costs down.
With a draft contract in hand, your lawyer might not feel obliged to charge so much for services.
