Tips & Warnings
Always have a signed contract binding your business with each supplier. Failure to have a binding contract makes it impossible to prove the details of your agreement in court.
Always have an attorney review or draft every contract you are planning on using in the course of your business. Only an attorney can forge a document that is completely legal and enforceable.
