About the Course

Understand some of the key aspects of contracting and what to look out for before you sign a legally-binding contract.

Dealing with contracts is an essential part of running a business, whether they relate to securing finance, equipment  leasing, employing staff or engaging in advertising. Contracts are legally binding, so it’s important to understand exactly what you are signing. This session will highlight some of the key aspects of contracting and what to look out for.

This topic covers:

  • Contracts as part of business planning;
  • Definition of a contract;
  • What makes a legally valid contract;
  • Negotiating tips;
  • When to seek legal or financial advice;
  • Managing longer term contracts;
  • Breaches, dispute resolution and termination clauses;
  • Other laws that affect or override contract terms;
  • Renewal and renegotiation, or ending a contract.

This session is for new and more experienced business owners who already have, or about to enter into, contracts.

 

This session is presented by the SBDC, the only agency in the Western Australian Government dedicated to helping small business. In fact, we’ve been providing practical support to small business owners for more than 30 years.
