With decades of experience in the Automotive, Rail and Telecoms sectors. Richard brings a wealth of practical experience and no-nonsense problem solving to resolve the knottiest of commercial and contracting entanglements.
So, what is a health check, why does your business need one, and what value can it bring to your business?
Whether you buy or sell products or services or indeed all things in-between, most of these matters are usually covered by a written contract. The health check is simply a list of key contract clauses and conditions which should feature in every SME’s, trading terms tool kit. But do they?
Answering this key question is what the health check is all about. It will flush out any terms (or lack of) that could pose a potential threat or weakness to your business. Whether that is in your own trading terms, or your client contracts.
Why do you need a health check? Because, in many cases SMEs are faced with accepting client terms (usually entities much larger than themselves), with clients using commercial leverage to push risk down the contractual chain to the SME, who is usually the “last man standing.” Richard wants to evangelise the message that when sorting out trading terms, SME’s can mix it with the big boys and win.
And the value to you? The health check will identify if all is well with your trading / contracting terms, or if not, what needs to change to strengthen your position and minimise risk. You can then choose to commission Richard to carry out the work at a lower cost than a commercial lawyer. A free health check could save you future headaches and money.
Also, conscious that terms and condition of contract are not everyone’s cup of tea, Richard can talk you through the free health check or indeed complete it for you via a question-and-answer session which can be either face to face or online.
Redline also offers, on an hourly fee or an agreed fixed price basis, a terms and conditions review service for any type of legal agreement. All this of course, is subject to a non-disclosure agreement, which will protect your key commercial information, which can either be sent in electronic form or hard copy.
Finally, Redline can also provide (a.) masterclass training in bid management, commercial / contract awareness and (b.) Commercial / Contract Crisis support where an SME finds himself in commercial hot water!
