Did you know there are 7 essential clauses every small business owner MUST have in their Client Contract or Terms of Business — or risk late payments, legal disputes, and compliance chaos?

Most don’t. And sadly, that’s why I see so many well-meaning entrepreneurs run into serious trouble that could’ve been easily avoided. 

Your Client Contract/ Terms of Business isn’t just a boring legal form — it’s the most important document in your entire business. More important than your business plan. More critical than your social media strategy.

Because when things go wrong (and at some point, they will), your contract is what stands between you and a whole load of pain. ✋

In this practical, eye-opening Masterclass, you’ll discover:

✅ Why “we’ll sort it out as we go” leads to messy client relationships — and how to set clear boundaries from day one

✅ The clause that makes it much easier to chase and enforce payments

✅ The overlooked legal right that can save you time, stress, and cash flow chaos

✅ The sneaky loophole that can make your entire contract unenforceable (especially if you work with individuals or sell online!)

✅ What you really own when you create something for a client — and how to make sure it stays yours

✅ How to protect your business from unexpected disruption (illness, emergencies, etc.) with one tiny clause

✅ The one sentence that can protect you from five-figure legal claims — and why copying someone else’s terms could be a disaster

📃We’ll even play a fun round of “Contract Bingo” to help you spot what your current contract is missing — and the serious consequences that could follow.

This is a must-attend if you:

  • Don’t have a professionally drafted Client Contract / Terms of Business
  • ​Used a freebie template, or one from a mate/coach/association
  • ​Want to protect your business the right way

If you don’t yet have a proper Client Contract / Terms of Business, or you downloaded one from a freebie site or borrowed it from a mate — please make this Masterclass your absolute priority. It could save your business. ☝
