Startup Survival: The Critical Role of Contracts with Service Providers When building a startup, poorly scoped contracts with critical service providers can kill your momentum—or your dream altogether. This is true from real estate construction to software development . A good contract is the foundation of your labor: • From engineering to construction all contracts need clear deliverables, milestones, and fixed prices are non-negotiable. Ambiguity here can lead to spiraling costs and delays. • Get multiple bids and use and get everything promised verbally in writing. To limit ambiguity your requirements should also be well defined and written. Make those referral calls and do your homework • Minimize change orders. These are a killer, take additional time to plan before execution, use the discussions and bids from vendors as an opportunity to refine the plan. 💡 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Every contract needs clarity: scope, timeline, and cost. 2️⃣ Build accountability into every agreement. Missed deadlines = penalties. 3️⃣ Set a hard budget ceiling (including contingencies). Unlimited spend can crush even the best idea. This all may sound like common sense, but I’ve seen it too many times from first time founders. Smart contracts with critical service providers aren’t just paperwork—they’re your startup’s lifeline. What’s the worst provider mistake you’ve seen (or made)? Let’s learn from it 👇.

@Fire5280 🤦🏼♂️ not even hating on the car value in anyway. Just some of his takes can’t be serious. It amazes me every time I’m on this app how uninformed some of these big accounts
