You can have the strongest sounding subcontractor agreement in the worldโฆ
But if it says โno solicitationโ and then doesn't clearly explain what happens when someone breaches it, you may still end up in a very uncomfortable negotiation.
This is the bit business owners often miss.
The clause is one thing.
The consequence is another.
If your agreement says there is a recruitment fee, for example, you need to clearly define how that fee is calculated.
A table of rates.
A fixed amount.
Or a clearly defined formula.
Because when a client takes your cleaner, you don't want to be sitting there arguing over what the fee should be after ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด ๐ข๐ญ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐บ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ.

Your agreements need to be structured so everyone understands what happens if a clause is breached.
That doesn't mean throwing ridiculous penalties into your contracts.
It means working with the right legal professional to make sure your terms are clear, reasonable and properly structured. โ๏ธ
Because when it comes to contracts, โwe'll figure it out if something happensโ is not exactly a business strategy.
Protect the business before you need the protection. ๐ผ
