Sound familiar?
If any of these is you, you’re in good company. Most people in business were never taught to read a contract.

- “They sent me their draft. Am I just supposed to trust it?”Business owner · 23:07

What it costs to wing it
The cost of a missing clause doesn’t show when you sign. It shows later.
A deal with nothing in writing
When money, deadlines and delivery are not written down, a disagreement becomes a guessing game about who promised what.
A template built for another deal
An old contract can leave out what matters for this deal, and keep terms you never meant to give.
Terms you signed without reading
Accepting the other side’s draft means agreeing to every clause in it, including the ones you don’t understand.
Hours lost on routine paperwork
Starting every simple agreement from a blank page is slow, for you and for anyone you ask to help.
None of this is bad luck. It is missing information.
Nobody taught you this.
Schools don’t teach contracts. Friends pass on whatever worked for them. Online templates ignore the details of your deal.
That is a gap in the system, not in you. You don’t need a law degree. You need the right questions, in plain words, in the right order.

What the draft does
- Turns your answers into a complete first draft in Word.
- Uses lawyer-written clauses, picked by your answers.
- Gives you something real to read, edit and discuss.
- Saves time before you speak to a lawyer or to the other side.
What a lawyer can add
- Looks at your real circumstances, not only your answers.
- Suggests the right approach for your business.
- Shapes the terms to fit your deal and your position.
- Spots risks and gaps a set of questions cannot ask about.

Questions, answered
Can I rely on the draft?
Treat it as a first draft. It follows your answers, but it can’t weigh the circumstances of your business. For a large or unusual deal, add a lawyer review or book a consultation.
Why not just ask an AI to write my agreement?
A chatbot writes new wording every time and can sound sure when it is wrong. Here, every clause was written by a lawyer first. Your answers choose the clauses and fill the blanks. Nothing is made up on the spot.
I don’t know which agreement I need.
Use the Agreement Finder. Answer a few simple questions and it suggests the likely agreement, with what it covers and the price.
Can I use this for my company’s work?
Yes. Save your company’s details once on My profile, and each new agreement starts with them filled in. You choose which side your company is on.
Do you have plans for businesses that need many agreements?
Yes. If your business needs more than 2 agreements a month, a retainer plan gives you a set number of drafts every month at a lower price per draft.
See retainer plansCan I show my boss the price before paying?
Yes. You see the agreement, its outline and the price, SST included, before anything is charged.
What if my situation is unusual?
If nothing fits, tell us what you need and we’ll get back to you. If your matter needs a lawyer, we say so before you pay.
Why do I pay before the detail questions?
First you see which agreement fits, what it covers and the price. After you pay, the detail questions open for 60 days, so you can save and return.
What if I don’t finish in 60 days?
The draft expires and the fee is not refunded. We email reminders at day 30, 50 and 57.
Can I edit the draft?
Yes. It’s a normal Word file.
Does a lawyer check my agreement?
Only if you choose Generate agreement + lawyer review.
Do I need an account?
