Making Simple But Solid Business Agreements and Contracts

Oral agreements may be legal and binding in some situations, but often than not it is difficult to enforce. More so, when one of the parties involved in the oral agreement and happened to be the offender, nothing can be done if he will refuse to admit that such an oral agreement did really took place, so it cannot be enforced at all. The law does not state that putting all agreements and arrangements between two parties in writing is a must, although doing so will best protect the best of interest of both parties.

In business, business transactions and contracts should always be in black and white, even if the law does not require it. In written agreement, both contracting party is always protected and can always have the peace of mind thinking that if something wrong happens borne out of the deal and just in case of confusions or disagreements, the document will speak for itself with regards to the rights and obligations of each party.

When attending to business calls, see to it that you are not wasting your time negotiating and discussing a business deal or proposal with just a regular company who does cannot even entertain matters concerning business deals and transactions. It is best that you request insistently but politely to allow you to see the right person to talk with concerning your business deal and proposal. You should not just walk in a company premise and hope to meet the right person for your purpose, it may be more proper if you set an appointment first with the person-in-charge, which will make it more certain that you will be able to meet the person you should be seeing.

Make sure the person you will negotiate with has the authority to decide for the company and has the capacity to bind the business and to perform its obligations under the agreement if in case your business proposal got a positive result. In a smaller business, it is usually the owner or its assistant; in bigger companies it might be a chief executive officer or chief operating officer or the operations manager and the likes. In preparing a proposal and/or a legal contract in case of a closed deal, you should see to it that the complete business name of the company as registered with the government entities, and the full name and designation of its authorized representative is completely indicated in the contract, so that you will know exactly who is responsible for performing the obligations under the agreement and likewise. In preparing a legal form, more so a business contract, a simple and direct to the point contract or agreement is more appropriate, as against most lawyers think that putting in a lot of legal terminologies and legal jargons to the contract makes it more enforceable. Create short, simple and precise statements that are relevant to the deal.
