Fifteen ways business agreements go sideways.

The risks that show up when the contract is silent.

Each risk has a clause pattern that prevents it. We've built those patterns into BizDraft.

Draft your agreement

Free. No registration. No card. No catch.

Spot the risk. Write it out.

Each card maps to a risk that lives in vague or missing contract language. Detail pages cover red-flag wording, safer patterns, and which agreement types are most affected.

Risk

Scope creep

Extra work that wasn't in the contract. The most common SMB risk — and the easiest to write out.

Risk

Late payment

When invoices age past 60 days. The clause that decides whether you're a vendor or a creditor.

Read →

Risk

Unlimited revisions

When 'one more round' becomes infinite. The risk that lives in vague revision language.

Read →

Risk

No payment deadline

When the contract says 'upon completion' with no actual date. Cash flow killer.

Read →

Risk

No IP ownership trigger

When the contract doesn't say when IP transfers. Default to creator-ownership — usually not what the client thinks.

Read →

Risk

Vague deliverables

When 'a website' isn't defined further. The vagueness that fuels every other risk on this list.

Read →

Risk

No termination clause

When neither side can exit cleanly. The contract that traps both parties.

Read →

Risk

Client silence

When the client stops responding mid-project. No approval-timeout clause = stuck.

Read →

Risk

No approval timeline

When the contract doesn't say how long the client has to approve. Project drags.

Read →

Risk

Broad liability

When the indemnity clause covers everything the client can imagine. The cost of one mistake.

Read →

Risk

No confidentiality

When sensitive info is shared with no NDA. The leak you can't get back.

Read →

Risk

No dispute resolution

When the contract is silent on how to resolve fights. Default = court, which is expensive.

Read →

Risk

Work-for-hire surprise

When work-for-hire kicks in without you meaning it to — or doesn't when you assumed it did.

Read →

Risk

No kill fee

When the client cancels and you have nothing to invoice for. Mid-project losses.

Read →

Risk

Unclear expenses

When out-of-pocket costs aren't defined. Travel, software, materials — who pays?

Read →

Don't carry these risks into your next deal.
