10-11 | Lay down your agreements clearly and avoid risks

Trainer: Jet Hootsmans

What will you learn during this evening?
New assignment/commission? Nice! Protect yourself by putting your agreements down on paper and covering risks. This evening, you’ll find out how. You will learn precisely what you need to lay down in a contract and how you draw up general terms and conditions. Examples include assignments that are delayed, clients who do not pay, sudden illness, investments that don’t pay for themselves. In this way, it will be even more enjoyable to set to work.
