SME Growth

We have listed below some suggested legal templates that can be used to help build your business. 

Of course, there may well be several other matters that will require coverage by legal agreements, and this collection is not meant to be comprehensive. Rather, it is a prompt for you to see what else you need to get sorted out as your business moves towards greater success. Please also browse our main menu for ideas of what other legal documents you require.

The templates include useful documents if you are involved in the so-called 'gig economy', as well as for more traditional ways of growing your business.

Template: Sales Agency Agreement: sale of services

"This is a comprehensive agreement that sets out how a sales agent will sell your services anywhere in the world. It guides you to compliance with the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations 1993. The contract sets out the responsibilities of each party and defines the limitations of the agent's power. It provides an administrative framework for your arrangements with your agents, will help you to protect your business and comply with the regulations governing these relationships."

Template: Sales Agency Agreement: sale of goods; principal delivers

"This agreement covers the common arrangement where an agent agrees to market the goods of a manufacturer in return for commission on sales. The manufacturer remains responsible for delivery. You could use the document either as the basis for individual discussion or treat it as your standard, fixed terms."

Template: Loan Agreement: company borrower; secured on physical assets; guarantor option

"An agreement between a lender, who may be an individual or a corporate body, and a borrower, who is a company. It is drawn so that the lender is also a corporate body, but it could as easily be an individual or a trust. The loan is secured with a fixed charge on specific physical assets, and optionally, a guarantor. 

We have provided for security in the form of physical assets to be lodged or described. There is also full provision for a personal guarantee. The security could be any goods or property, not necessarily that which is bought using the loan"

Template: Software Development Agreement

"Comprehensive contract for entering into a custom software development arrangement; both locally and internationally. This custom software development agreement records the terms set between the client and the software developer. Whilst it is fair to both parties, it is the developer's interests that are most protected. The document can be edited to suit a client."

Template: Terms for websites selling good and services

"The following are terms for websites that sell goods or services (or a combination of both). They provide both an acceptable use policy for visitors and a contract for sale. 

E-commerce terms and conditions template: retailer of goods

Website terms and conditions template: international sale of goods to business

Website terms and conditions template: retail of hardware and licensed software

It is designed to reassure your website visitors that you take their privacy seriously and to help you comply with data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR (in force from 25th May 2018)."

Template: Website Design Contract: developer's version

"This is a comprehensive agreement for the design and development of a complex website or web application. It favours the developer over the client on matters where stronger legal protection might be advantageous."

Template: Online Advertising Agreement
