What is it?

The Independent Contractor Agreement is designed for any business owner hiring a 1099 service provider to help with specific projects, support, or expertise - without adding a full-time employee.

It clearly outlines the contractor’s scope of work + how payment will be made.

It allows you to feel clear and comfortable working together by spelling out in writing:

• Services the contractor is being hired to perform.
• Expectations for communication and responsiveness.
• Deliverables, timelines, payments + revisions.
• Ownership of intellectual property + confidentiality terms.
• Satisfaction of services - and what happens if you’re not satisfied with the work.

Legal Love™ Tip: Working with an independent contractor can be fabulous - but also frustrating if expectations aren't clear. This Agreement protects both of you + helps you relax knowing everything’s in writing and everyone’s on the same page.
