How do I make my test prep centre’s tutor contracts easy for a buyer to read?

Collect first, polish later. Find every signed agreement, including old versions and any email that changed the terms. Missing signatures and unsigned amendments are the gaps a buyer notices first, so fix what you can before the review starts.

Then build the summary. Use a simple table with one row per tutor. Include the date the agreement began, whether the person is treated as an employee or a contractor, how they are paid, what notice either side must give, and whether anything restricts them from taking students elsewhere. Add a column that notes whether the agreement can pass to a new owner. Number the files so the table can point to each original, and keep a short list of open questions at the top. A buyer who can find any page in seconds spends less time worrying about what is missing.

Keep your own wording plain. Do not summarize in a way that softens a difficult clause. A buyer’s lawyer will read the originals, and a mismatch costs trust. Last, flag the unusual. Special pay deals, informal promises and verbal arrangements should be listed openly, with a note on what was agreed. Ask your lawyer to check the table before you share it.

Key takeaways

• Gather every signed agreement and any later change into a single folder.
• Build a one-page table with one row per tutor.
• List informal or verbal arrangements openly instead of hoping they go unnoticed.
• Number the files so each table row points straight to its original.
