Free. No registration. No card. No catch.

Five agreements local businesses can't run without.

The on-the-ground paper that keeps a physical business protected and operational.

Understand the lease

Commercial lease review: rent escalation, CAM charges, permitted use, sublease rights, and exit clauses. Know what you're signing before you sign it.

Lock in vendors

Supplier and vendor agreements for product, equipment, and services. Delivery obligations, pricing, and remedies when supply fails.

Hire correctly

Employment agreements for staff and IC agreements for contractors. Role, pay, schedule, and confidentiality — before the first shift.

Protect customer relationships

Customer engagement terms: service scope, payment, cancellation, and liability. For any service with a scheduled or recurring commitment.

Secure business information

NDA for employees, managers, and contractors who know your pricing, suppliers, or customer lists. Confidentiality prevents your operation from walking out the door.

Five documents every brick-and-mortar business needs.

From the lease to the staff agreement. The full paper stack for a physical operation.

The location

Commercial lease review checklist

Understand CAM charges, rent escalation, permitted-use restrictions, renewal options, and exit terms before signing the landlord's version. BizDraft generates your negotiation checklist — have counsel review the lease itself.

Supply chain

Vendor / supplier agreement

For every regular supplier: delivery schedule, pricing, minimum orders, quality standards, and remedies for non-delivery.

Staff

Employment agreement

Role, hours, compensation, confidentiality, and termination terms. For every W-2 employee before the first shift.

Customer services

Customer engagement agreement

For recurring or high-value customer services: scope, payment, cancellation policy, and liability. Memberships, packages, service contracts.

Confidentiality

Employee / contractor NDA

For all staff who access pricing, supplier relationships, or customer data. Prevents business information from leaving with an ex-employee.

The local business story, two versions.

Before BizDraft

Hire the first manager on a verbal understanding. He leaves, takes the supplier contact list, and opens a competing shop. No NDA. No non-solicitation. The five-year supplier relationship you built walks out with him.

After BizDraft

Every employee and contractor signs an employment agreement with NDA before the first shift. Supplier relationships, pricing, and customer lists are covered by confidentiality. Your operation is yours.

Five local business situations that need agreements.

Opening

Commercial lease sign-off

BizDraft generates a lease review checklist so you know which clauses to negotiate before signing the landlord's standard form. Review the lease with a lawyer.

First hire

Staff employment

Employment agreement with role, pay rate, schedule expectations, and confidentiality obligations signed before day one.

Regular orders

Supplier relationship

Vendor agreement for recurring suppliers. Pricing, delivery lead time, quality standards, and remedy if they fall short.

Memberships

Customer subscription or package

Customer engagement agreement for monthly memberships, service packages, or loyalty contracts. Payment, cancellation, and refund terms built in.

Outsourced help

Contractor for operations or marketing

IC agreement for any external person supporting operations. Confidentiality and IP assignment included.

Five risks that surprise brick-and-mortar owners. All preventable.

Lease trap

Signing a landlord's standard lease without understanding the CAM charges or permitted-use restrictions. Fix: lease review before signing.

Employee takes the customer list

Ex-employee solicits your customers. Fix: NDA with non-solicitation clause in every employment agreement.

Vendor non-delivery

Supplier misses an order; you can't serve customers. Fix: vendor agreement with delivery SLA and remedy clause.

Membership dispute

Customer cancels mid-term and demands full refund. Fix: customer engagement agreement with written cancellation and refund policy.

Contractor IP

Marketing contractor owns the brand assets they created. Fix: IC agreement with IP assignment for every external creator.
