What Is a Contract? What Businesspeople Need to Know

 

Learn about the essentials of a contract.

A contract is an agreement between two or more people to do, or not do, a particular thing. The reason why contracts work is because by their nature, contracts are optimistic documents (or oral agreements). Entering into a contract is optimistic because the parties are predicting what they are capable of doing in the future and are willing to stake money or reputation or social capital on their ability to perform in the future. This video reviews what businesspeople need to know about contracts and discusses the essentials of contracts.
