A Rock-Solid Contract—and a Lot More

At first glance, the Independent Contractor Kit might look like just a well-written agreement. But once you open it, you'll see it's much more than that.

  • You get an attorney-drafted contract we’ve used with hundreds of creative entrepreneurs in our one-on-one legal work. You also get a clear, easy-to-follow customization guide showing you how to adapt it to your business and needs.
  • We include a video walkthrough from an attorney to help you understand the important details. You’ll know exactly how to use the contract with confidence.
  • To make implementation even easier, we’ve added bonuses and helpful materials to support you as you start working with freelancers.

This is more than a template. It’s a complete system that helps you build smoother, clearer, legally-sound relationships with your contractors—without the stress, confusion, or risk.

Start with the Contract and Put It into Practice

This isn’t just theory.

The contract gives you a solid foundation for better working relationships with freelancers and independent contractors.

Agreements like this often cost thousands of dollars when drafted by an attorney. We created this kit to give you that same level of protection and clarity, without the high cost or confusion.

Alongside the contract, you’ll get the knowledge and tools to use it confidently.

We’ve taken everything we’ve learned over 12 years of working one-on-one with creative entrepreneurs and distilled it into clear, practical steps you can apply right away.
