Protect yourself with proper business
contracts
Almost all current economic forecasts are pretty grim, so there is an increased likelihood of business failures, bad debts and contract disputes hitting the marketing industry.
Giles Dixon of ContractStore.com explains the importance of protecting yourself in 2008 with legally binding contracts: "Commercial contracts form the basis of every healthy business relationship; professionally drafted contracts protect you in your dealings with other people, give your business a professional, established image when you use standard terms for buying and selling goods and services and help you meet legal requirements - in particular with regard to employees and the regulatory and tax authorities" If you wonder why you should bother with business contracts, think for a moment: whether or not you write down the terms, you will be entering into contracts with other people all the time - with your suppliers, your customers or clients and your employees and consultants
