Yes! It doesn’t matter if you’re a full-time entrepreneur or or working freelance, if you’re exchanging money for products or services (i.e. running a business), then you need contracts to legally protect yourself. Contracts ensure all parties are on the same page from the start, and have terms to refer back to, if things don't go according to plan.

Our legal contract templates are designed for new and seasoned business owners. Whether you’re just starting out or just starting to cover your legal bases, these contract templates can help you protect what you’ve built. 

However, these templates aren’t for people who are looking for personal legal advice or who need to hire their own lawyer. Although our founder Jaime is a lawyer, she is not your lawyer and won’t be able to provide you with personal or business legal advice.

Yes! These contract templates were created for Canadian  and US based businesses and entrepreneurs, no matter where in the world your clients are located. There is a specific clause in our templates that confirms that the laws of your specific location will govern your agreement, subject to certain laws we have to adhere to. 

The contract templates were created by Jaime Bell, a business lawyer and entrepreneur with over a decade of business law experience under her belt. You can learn more about Jaime here. Each template has been carefully reviewed and drafted intentionally with you and your industry in mind, in language that you and your clients will understand. All contracts have been peer-reviewed (IE - Jaime hired a US law firm to review her contracts to make sure they complied with US Law.

When you purchase a Contracts Market template, you’ll instantly be prompted to download your contract and you will also get an email with a zip file with your template and a how-to guide to help you get started. Contracts come in WORD and PDF files.   

I didn't think you would be if you aren't a lawyer-  That's exactly why I created Contracts Market!

Each contract template comes with a colour-coded Template Use Guide written in plain English that will walk you through how to customize your contract. All you need to do is give yourself about 30 minutes to an hour to read over your template and edit it to fit your business’ unique structure and processes. Once you’ve customized and reviewed your contract, it’s ready to go! You can start using it by uploading it to your CRM or emailing it to your clients directly for e-signing. 

On average, it takes about 30 minutes to an hour to review and customize their contract for the first time. Once it’s customized it should only take a couple of minutes each time you need to send it out to new clients. Our advice? Get cozy. Make a cup of tea, settle in on the couch, and have fun making them yours. These documents act as your legal foundation so give yourself the time and space to get them just right.
