Hire a contractor without the IP and tax problems. Agreement + W-9, one workflow.
An independent contractor agreement defines who owns the work (you, via IP assignment), what is confidential, whether they can compete (if your state allows), and how they get paid. The 2024 FTC non-compete ban changed what is enforceable. California, North Dakota, and Oklahoma already had bans; many other states are now changing. We generate agreements that fit your state and bundle W-9 collection so you are 1099-ready when January arrives.

Classification check
We run the IRS 20-factor test on your role: how much control you have over the work, who provides tools, whether the contractor works for other clients. If the role looks like W-2 employment we flag it before you create the wrong contract.
Configure key terms
