19 BEST Short Form Agreement Templates

In the business world, no deal can be done in the absence of a contract or agreement. Companies or other businesses have to enter into hundreds of agreements on daily basis. Sometimes, these agreements can be very extensive and it is almost impossible to check out every detail in a particular agreement. Also, in case where the company has to draft and create an agreement on their own, it is a more difficult task to do. So, for this purpose, a short form of these agreements are prepared. A short form agreement template is basically a brief and concise form of a full fledged official agreement and it is prepared for the convenience of smaller enterprises, landlords or independent contractors etc. 

A short form of an agreement should never be taken as granted because even being short, it is still legal and it can be presented as a proper evidence before the court, in case of default by any party to the agreement. Though these agreements are short, but that does not mean that they should be prepared quickly and in haste. Short form agreement templates should also use proper layout and must be prepared with due care, just as any other typical business agreements would have been prepared. Following are some of the best quality short form agreement templates that can be helpful to you.
