Contracts are an important part of a freelance business—they lay out the plan for how and when you’ll get paid, ensure that you and your clients are on the same page and protect you if something goes awry. Our Jan. 27 webinar with Suzy Bills will cover the reasons to use a contract, the elements to include in a contract and what to do if a client doesn't fulfill their contractual responsibilities.
