Mastering business contracts | Your complete guide by DGF Morgan 

Did you know that business contracts (often referred to as commercial contracts) are typically the backbone of every successful business deal? They are there to make sure there is clarity and trust among all parties involved. 

Here is our essential guide on all things business contracts:

Firstly, what you need to know about contracts

It’s important to recognise that contracts aren’t just paperwork - they are legally binding agreements outlining what each party promises. In NSW, these agreements are governed by laws that ensure fairness and enforceability. They may apply to one-off transactions or to an ongoing arrangement that lasts for many years.

Here are 5 things that make a contract valid:

The offer 

A clear proposal outlining what’s on the table.

Acceptance

Both parties agree to the terms without reservations.

Consideration

Something of value, like money or services, is exchanged between parties. 

Mutual agreement 

Everyone involved understands and accepts the terms.

Intention to be legally bound

Both parties intend for the contract to be enforceable by law. 

What are the different types of business contracts?

Businesses engage in various types of contracts to manage relationships and transactions, such as:

  • Joint venture Agreements
  • Supply Agreements
  • Distribution Agreements
  • Leases
  • Employment Contracts
  • Loan Agreements

Each contract serves to define responsibilities, pricing and risks involved.
