You'll also find that incorporation lends a certain amount of respectability to the firm, attracts business, and helps in obtaining dealer discounts and credit from vendors. It is not an expensive prospect. Contracts Much has also been said about contracts in this column and elsewhere. This comes as no surprise, because the topic is contract engineers. The contract involved typically states what special terms and conditions will apply to the hiring agreement in general, including liability issues.
Laws do vary, so always pay an attorney to review any proposed general or specific contract.
Even the contract's typography may be codified. If you ignore the UCC you will probably lose in court.

Any documents should plainly state that the certification is simply a report of what was actually noted, and no guarantee against the existence of problems. Avoid rendering opinions.
