Must-Have Legal Docs: Protect Yourself & Your Biz

By: A Staff Writer

Updated on: Sep 03, 2024

Even the most low-key solo biz needs these basics to avoid trouble:

• Client Contracts: Outlines scope, payment, termination clauses… NON-negotiable even for friends.
• Website Essentials: Privacy policy, terms of service… templates exist, but customize them.
• Freelancer Agreements: Protecting your IP, ownership of their work, etc., if you use them.
• Disclaimers Where Necessary: If you give advice in a sensitive niche, clear limits of liability.
• Insurance Policy Check: Does your biz type need specific coverage (errors & omissions, etc.)?
• The ‘Easy to Find’ Test: Could a disgruntled client easily find your business address etc.? If so, consider alternatives.

Boring paperwork now can prevent major headaches later.

Legally protecting your business is a vital part of being a responsible solopreneur.
