Before you pick one
Choosing the right business contracts template
Small business contracts put the deal in writing before work starts: what will be delivered, when, for how much, who owns the result, and what happens if something goes wrong. Freelancers, agencies, consultants and companies hiring contractors use them to avoid the disputes that come from a handshake and a few emails.
PDFBetter contract templates are original documents in plain English with fillable fields for the parties, dates, fees and key terms, and signature blocks for each party. They are starting points, not legal advice: laws differ by state and country, so have a lawyer review contracts for significant or unusual deals. Send the finished contract for signature from the editor.
Business contract templates: questions people ask
Are these contracts legally binding?
A contract is generally enforceable when the parties agree on clear terms and sign, but enforceability depends on the content and your jurisdiction. PDFBetter is not a law firm; have significant contracts reviewed by a lawyer.
Can I edit the contract wording?
Yes. Open the template in the editor and use Edit text to change clauses, or add pages for schedules and exhibits.
How do I get everyone to sign?
Use Request signatures, add each party's email, and set the signing order. Everyone receives the completed PDF with a certificate of completion.
Is an electronic signature valid on a contract?
In the US, the ESIGN Act and state UETA laws generally give electronic signatures the same effect as handwritten ones, with some exceptions such as wills. See our e-signature legality pages for details.
