HAVE WRITTEN CONTRACTS/AGREEMENTS, NOT MERE TRUST

HAVE WRITTEN CONTRACTS/AGREEMENTS, NOT MERE TRUST

In business, trust is important but trust without written contract/Agreement is like playing Sportybet. It may look promising at first but the next minute it will come crashing down.

Sadly, many entrepreneurs still operate based on gentleman’s agreement, oral promises and WhatsApp chats instead of proper legally binding contracts.

The danger is that when disputes arise (and they surely will) there is nothing concrete to protect you. That supplier who promised delivery might disappoint. That client who agreed to pay might suddenly claim “we never agreed on that.”

Without a clear contract/Agreement spelling out terms, timelines, obligations and consequences, you are at the mercy of memory and goodwill, both of which are unreliable in business.

At Apex Chambers, we have seen businesses lose millions of naira simply because they relied on verbal assurances. Courts work with evidence, not hope.

A well-drafted contract ensures that everyone knows their duties, protects your interests and provides a clear path for resolving issues without tearing relationships apart.

Proper contracts are not just for big corporations, they are for every business, no matter the size. Whether you are hiring staff, buying equipment, renting property, partnering with another business/partner, etc, a contract prepared by an experienced Business/Corporate Lawyer is your best move against loss.
