A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is one of the simplest yet most useful documents for a small business. It lets you share sensitive information while keeping the other side legally obliged to keep it confidential.

What a good NDA includes

  • The parties involved
  • A clear definition of what counts as Confidential Information
  • The purpose the information may be used for
  • How long confidentiality lasts
  • What happens to the information afterwards

When to use one

Use an NDA before discussions with potential partners, suppliers, investors or freelancers — basically any time you reveal something you would not want made public.
