Do I have to give clients a formal written contract‪?‬ Ask Kiff

    • Entrepreneurship

The reason that most creatives hate contracts is that many contracts are 20-pages long and stuffed with legal jargon.


But did you know that your contract doesn’t have to look like that to be valid? Listen to this episode to learn what is required for a contract to be valid.


The short answer is only three things are required to create a valid contract:


1️⃣ an offer
2️⃣ acceptance of the exact offer
3️⃣ exchange of things of value
