Too many trade businesses are operating under the assumption that business always continues on a stable path.

• No Terms and Conditions
• No Privacy Policy
• No Website Policies
• No Credit Application Forms
• No Personal/Directors Guarantees

Insurance can only protect you from the unforeseen with an active, paid-up policy. Similarly, correctly worded documents can only protect you and your business if they are provided to your clients at the appropriate times.

Like a vehicle without an engine, a quotation without Terms & Conditions looks great but isn’t going to help you when you need it most.

Every day we hear from business owners that don’t have any of the basic documents that make their business legally compliant. They simply cannot protect their business from dishonest clients and protect their own personal assets. Many aren’t sure why they need it, and many don’t know where to get them from.

Unfortunately, this results in the sourcing of T&Cs or privacy policies off of the internet that are not tailored to your trade and therefore is not of any benefit at all.

For example, a FlatRateNOW user uploaded Terms & Conditions that were specifically written for the bricklaying trade. This not only nullified his Terms & Conditions but could have caused greater damage to his business for breaching the copyright of these documents for not receiving approval to use the Terms & Conditions.

FlatRateNOW have searched high and low for a great business that not only offers the important service of developing these documents specific to your business and your trade but also offer a wider range of services that interlink.
