If you want to contract with someone to obtain
or provide a professional service, it’s key to have
a written Independent Contractor Agreement so you both can
feel CLEAR and COMFORTABLE as to what you’re agreeing to.
what is an independent contractor agreement?
It can be used for a variety of professionals, but you may want to have a more specific agreement designed for the exact type of team member you’re working with if you like to be very detail-oriented about timelines, duties, and expectations like the DIY Agreement for Hiring a Virtual Assistant or DIY Agreement for Hiring a Graphic Designer.
If you are in a pinch or you just need a broad Agreement to cover your work together, this Independent Contractor Agreement is right for you.
Using this Agreement means that you are the Company and they are an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR – they are NOT your employee. There’s a huge legal – and practical – distinction between an Independent Contractor and an Employee. The Contractor has the freedom to determine what hours he or she works, when and how to complete tasks, and autonomy as the owner of their own business; employees don’t. You are two business coming together as equals to work together.

As a former real estate agent, I know that from the outside in, I would be more comfortable if someone came to me with documents properly prepared by a lawyer. Lisa provides a great service at a fair price.
