GEW NTX Reading and Understanding Contracts for Small Business Owners

Wait! Don’t sign that! Understand what to look for in your contracts before you sign. Small business owners sign lots of contracts as they grow, but do they really know what they’re agreeing to? Whether the deal is between friends or old associates, or with the only game in town, most people just breeze through the fine print. And in many cases, the vendors do not even understand what they’re asking to be signed. Without reading and understanding contracts, you could be putting your business, and yourself, in real jeopardy. In this seminar, legal experts will discuss the importance of taking time to read and understand every contract before signing; what common words and phrases mean; what sections to look for that could harm you; and how to respond if you want to negotiate the terms.
