Independent Contractor Agreement Template
This template is for you if you're hiring someone to support your business (as an independent contractor, not an employee) — or if you're the one being hired by a business to provide services!
When you bring someone into your business, you're giving them access to important aspects of how it runs — including confidential information, proprietary processes, and intellectual property. A solid contract helps protect all of that.
This agreement clearly outlines the scope of work, expectations, and responsibilities, helping to prevent misunderstandings or legal issues down the line.
It’s especially crucial if the person you're hiring will be creating anything for you — like content, designs, a website, or video. Under copyright law, the creator automatically owns the rights to their work — even if you paid for it. To make sure your business owns what it paid for, ownership must be properly transferred in writing.
