SME Legal Starter Kit

Most small businesses start operating before they have a single legal document in place. Then a client dispute happens, a contractor walks off with your IP, an employee claims they were never properly engaged, or a confidential business idea ends up in a competitor's pitch deck. Every one of those situations is preventable with the right documents signed before the relationship starts.

The SME Legal Starter Kit gives you the four documents every South African business needs before it does anything else. An NDA to protect your confidential information, ideas, and trade secrets before you share them with anyone. A General Service Agreement to govern every client or service relationship scope, fees, IP ownership, and what happens when things go wrong. An Independent Contractor Agreement built around section 200A of the LRA so you engage contractors properly without accidentally creating employment relationships that land you at the CCMA. And a full-time Employment Contract that is LRA and BCEA compliant, covering all six leave types, POPIA data processing, restraint of trade, and a full job description schedule.

All four documents are Africa-relevant, POPIA-aware, and SADC-ready. Purchased separately these four documents cost R2,596. The SME Legal Starter Kit gives you all four for R1,299.
