Contracts for Food Businesses 101: Understanding the Basics Before You Sign
Contracts are a part of every food business. Whether you're signing a catering agreement, a food truck event contract, a commercial kitchen agreement, a lease, a supplier agreement, or another business contract, understanding the basics can help you avoid misunderstandings and protect your business.
Join AFIC@MCO in partnership with the National Agricultural Law Center for a webinar led by Rusty Rumley, Senior Staff Attorney, that will break down the key elements of a contract and explain what food entrepreneurs should know before signing.
Using a sample contract as a guide, Rusty will discuss:
- The essential elements of a legally enforceable contract
- Common contract terms and provisions
- Responsibilities and obligations of each party
- Contract modifications and amendments
- Breach of contract and potential remedies
- Best practices for documenting agreements
- Common mistakes business owners make when entering contracts
- Practical tips for reducing risk and preventing disputes
Participants are encouraged to bring one of their own contracts or agreements to follow along during the webinar and identify areas they may want to review more closely in the future.
