“I'm doing business without proper contracts”
Typically affects: UK owner-managed businesses entering or managing B2B contracts.
Common symptoms
- Terms you've signed but don't fully understand
- Unclear obligations, renewals or exit routes
- Promises made in emails that nobody wrote down
Why it matters
Contracts decide who carries the risk. Weak terms quietly cost money long before anyone notices.
Questions to consider
- 1
What happens if either side doesn't deliver?
- 2
How and when can you get out?
- 3
Who is liable, and for how much?
Potential types of solution
Do it yourself
Guided readiness/checklist AI workflow with questions and action plan
Get it diagnosed
Readiness/risk diagnostic with gaps and priority actions
Direct support
Implementation/review support to put the right commercial controls in place
