The Contracts That Keep You Out of Court (and Out of Bad Partnerships)

Agreements, partners and paperwork worth getting right

  • When: Friday, November 20, 2026
  • Time: 12:00 pm–1:00 pm ET
  • Where: Online on Google Meet
  • Cost: Free, no camera needed

You'll leave with

  • The plain-language parts every customer agreement should cover: scope, price, changes, payment, cancellations
  • How to handle "while you're here, can you also..." with a simple change order instead of free work
  • The questions to settle with any partner, subcontractor or investor before money or work changes hands
  • One fix under 30 minutes: add a change-and-payment section to the quote or intake form you already send

"I thought that was included." "We never agreed to that." "I'll pay when I'm happy with it." If any of those sound familiar, the problem usually started with something that was never written down.

In this free 60-minute Build-Along we'll go through the parts every customer agreement should cover, how to handle extra work without doing it for free, and what to settle with a partner or subcontractor before money changes hands. You'll leave with a filled-in checklist and a list of smart questions to take to an attorney.

For contractors, cleaning companies, med spas, salons and professional offices. This is general education, not legal advice. Camera off, with a recording for everyone who registers.

Who it's for

Owners who quote jobs, book services or work with partners and subs: contractors, cleaning companies, med spas, salons with booth renters, professional offices.

Bring

  • The quote, estimate, intake form or agreement you send customers now (even if it's just a text or email)
  • One job or client where the scope or payment turned into an argument
  • Any partner, subcontractor or vendor arrangement that's only a handshake right now
  • A laptop if you want to build your checklist with us
