Contract Tips for Business Consultants
Add a non-compete carve-out
If the client requests a non-compete, negotiate a narrow scope and reasonable duration (6-12 months max).
Include confidentiality terms
Protect both sides — define what is confidential, how long obligations last, and exceptions.
Define engagement scope tightly
Consultants face scope creep more than anyone. List exactly what is in-scope and what requires a change order.
