Hello,

I am a member of a startup providing both an online service and a computer application that work in tandem with each other. Currently, we are in the process of applying for an LLC, however, have come across some time sensitive sales opportunities that could potentially close soon.

My question to the community is if there are any resources online that might be able to provide us with a legitimate sales contract template that we can adapt for our business for the time being while the LLC application is underway. We are looking for something comprehensive enough in scope to cover all aspects of the sale between the client and ourselves, i.e. the detail typically found in a business terms and conditions legalese.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My advice would be to go to your state office and get the LLC right away. You don't need an attorney to do so. Most states have online applications.

There are plenty of templates available online for sales contracts if you do a Google search. The biggest question is who do you want to take legal responsbility for the performance of the sales contract? It won't be the LLC unless the customer later agrees to assign the contract.

Keep it simple and keep yourself out of trouble.

You can find the forms you want at “Google Docs’ or “Microsoft Templates.”

Be very careful with generic sales contracts. If you do not want to have an attorney look them over at least read it very carefully and make sure you agree with everything that is written in the contract on top of that you can add anything you think will protect your interest and keep all parties happy.

The problem with most internet contracts is that they are too generalized to really help anyone. If you are going to go that route make sure that you look at more than one and use your own judgment about what you think makes sense for your interest.

Hope this helps.

I'm starting a small sustainability consulting business and I approached a business school colleague, who is also an attorney, with questions about contracts, essential boilerplates, and even incorporating.

She and another colleague are offering a start-up boot camp to answer all of the common questions that people have when they're starting up. It might be something you want to look into, especially as they're creating a toolkit of online resources that will be available to boot camp participants.

I haven't participated in the boot camp yet, but it sounds like a great way to get the expertise and avoid the attorney fees, which is exactly what I need!

Good luck!
