Section IV Comprehensive Practice Section IV Comprehensive Task (II) Presentation (I) Applied Writing
(I) Applied Writing How to Write a Contract (I) Applied Writing No matter what business you are in, how old you are, how long you have been doing business or who you are doing it with, a very important part of doing business is a contract. This is really the only thing that is there to make sure your partners do what they say they will do. It is also the only line of defense you have if you don't see eye to eye with your partner, which usually happens in business. A contract is especially important as many issues will come up down the line, such as:
1. How much Money is invested by Both Partners • 2. How much of the Company each Partner Owns. • 3. When and How is the monetary investment paid back to each partner. • 4. Who controls and oversees the day to day operations of a company and who has the final say in this matter. • Here are some tips when you write a contract: • Title it "Contract." If you intend the document to be a legally binding contract, use the word "Contract" in the title. • Write in short sentences. Short sentences are easier to understand than long ones.
Write in active tense, rather than passive. Active tense sentences are shorter and use words more efficiently, and their meaning is more apparent. • Write numbers as both words and numerals: ten (10). This will reduce the chance for errors. • Be consistent in using words. Don't worry about putting the reader to sleep; worry about the opposing lawyer a year from now hunting for ambiguities to get your contract into court. Sample 1
