I am trying to write up a contract for my new business. I saw that you could from some examples online on how to write a contract. Could someone help me please.

I strongly advise you not to use samples from the internet and instead have an attorney help you. The contract is one of the most important parts of your business. If you want providers to outsource, it stands to reason to have an experienced attorney handle legal aspects of your business. Those samples you might find around the internet will NOT be enough to cover you.
lgentle:
Thank you for the help.

I have another question about contracts. What type of question do I put in the contract? I know that you put what you are charging them and the day you get paid. But what type of legal things go in it?
PMRNC:
Too much to go into a post here, that's why it's best to leave this to an attorney. Legal contracts contain a lot of legal verbiage and it would not be prudent for anyone to give legal advice. What I did was create myself a list of all the things that could go wrong, I outlined all my services, fees, terms and then had an attorney draft the final draft. I pay my attorney on a retainer basis but you can find one that will do it on a fee-for service. I like having an attorney on retainer in case I need that contract backed up in court. Also having one on retainer will give you a discount on your E/O insurance as well.
