Contract Fine Print for Small Businesses

How the "Fine Print" in Contracts Can Benefit – Or Bite – You!

We entrepreneurs are lucky. While other people clock in every day at “have-to” jobs, small business owners are able to invest time and energy in work they sincerely enjoy. But there are aspects of running a business that are less-than-delightful. Like contracts. Oral agreements. Liability. Legalese.

Although I’m trained to speak legalese, I learned the hard way about the need to implement it when I first started my practice. Especially the lesson about how I needed to have fine print in my own agreements with clients in order to protect me. Like the old tale of the shoemaker’s children going barefoot, I was the lawyer without boilerplate!

The process of slogging through the fine print of a contract can be as tedious as running through a lake full of molasses. It’s painfully slow, definitely not fun, and there’s a good chance you’ll end up in a sticky situation. In fact, legal boilerplate can be so dangerous for small businesses, it can pull you under!

CAUTIONARY TALE AHEAD!

I’ll never forget Barbara, a Massachusetts-based business consultant who came to me because she wanted to sue a major corporation that owed her money. A lot of money. Close to $10,000. Sure, ten grand is chump change to a multinational behemoth, but it sure was a significant amount to Barbara.

She had a written an agreement, but neglected to read the fine print. That tiny type revealed that all lawsuits must be filed in Nevada – clear across the country. Barbara had to travel, at her own expense, through two time zones just to plead her case. This would never have happened if she had known how to identify potential red flags from the outset.

FINE PRINT CAN WORK IN YOUR FAVOR!

When fine print is tailored to benefit your business, it can actually help you “shut the door” on prolonged and expensive disputes. That’s why it’s important to develop your own.
