Three details. That's enough for us to tell you where the risk sits.

Service overview

Every commercial document your business needs

Need one contract that protects a deal, and another that prevents a dispute? That is the job. We shape the paper around how your SME actually sells, delivers and gets paid.

Sales Contracts

Built for orders, deposits, delivery terms and payment triggers. If you sell products or services, this is where your margin is protected.

We draft commercial contracts UK businesses can actually use, with concise liability caps, workable remedies and clear acceptance wording. Why leave performance, warranty and cancellation to guesswork?

Service Agreements

For retainers, project work and SLAs. We pin down scope, milestones, change control and handover so delivery stays calm when scope creeps.

Supplier Procurement

Tight procurement terms for stock, kit and outsourced services. Delivery dates, indemnities and exit rights are written so your operations don't stall.

E-commerce T&Cs

Consumer-facing terms for online sales, refunds, chargebacks, cancellations and returns.

Partnership Agreements

Founders, joint ventures and collaboration deals get ownership, decision and exit terms in black and white.

NDAs

Short, enforceable confidentiality clauses for pitches, tenders and supplier onboarding.

Process

From brief to binding in 4 steps

Need speed without sloppiness? That is exactly why we keep the process lean. You bring the commercial model. We turn it into wording that stands up.

Book a discovery call

1. Discovery call

We learn how you sell, who signs, what gets delivered and where deals usually wobble. Nothing abstract. Just the moving parts.

2. Draft and customise

Plain English first, legal precision always. We tailor the agreement around your price model, timelines, risk appetite and compliance needs.

3. Review together

Want a live session? Fine. We walk clause by clause, answer the awkward questions, and remove the language that sounds clever but works badly.

4. Finalise and deliver

You receive PDF and editable Word files, ready to send. Simple, usable, and far less expensive than cleaning up a dispute later.

Case study

How an e-commerce brand saved £12k with better T&Cs

A London retailer came to us after chargeback abuse started chewing through cash. Sound familiar? We rebuilt the terms, tightened the returns path, and gave the business proper leverage.

We drafted watertight Terms of Service, clarified refunds and returns, and aligned the customer journey with the checkout flow. Chargebacks dropped by 70%, and the owner reported annual savings of about £12,000. That pays for itself fast, doesn't it?

Questions

Commercial contracts Q&A

Still wondering how it works? These are the questions we hear most from owners, operators and founders.

We work with UK SMEs, startups, agencies, e-commerce brands, procurement teams and service businesses. If your revenue depends on a contract behaving properly, we can help.

Yes. We offer flat-fee reviews from £150, highlight commercial and compliance gaps, and tell you plainly what's safe, what's weak, and what needs redrafting.

We can draft with UK governing law, sensible jurisdiction wording and practical obligations for overseas counterparties. Cross-border doesn't have to mean messy.

Most commercial contract drafting takes 3-5 working days. If the brief is clear, we can move quicker. Why wait for risk to harden?

“They stripped out the waffle and left us with a contract we can actually use. I wish we'd done it sooner.”

“We needed supplier contracts that would hold up under pressure. The draft was crisp, commercial and far easier to negotiate than our old template.”

Why did we choose Stratton & Scott Drafting?
Because the advice was direct, and the contract was watertight.

They understood our commercial model in one call, and the final agreement stopped a revenue leak we'd ignored for months.
