  1. 1

    Get the background

    A quick read before you start, so you know what good looks like.

  2. 2

    Get the right document

    Template libraries and guided questionnaires cover common business documents without starting from scratch.

    After this step: A draft contract or template ready to review.

    Legal & Contracts

    LegalZoom

    Online legal documents and business services — US LLC formation from $0 plus state fees, a 150+ document library, and subscription plans for attorney consultations.

    Freemium · $0 + state fees

    Is it right for me?

    Best for: US-based founders and small business owners who want guided LLC formation, a broad template library and optional attorney consultations — for routine, non-contentious needs.

    Consider another option if: You're in the UK or anywhere outside the US (the documents, filings and attorney network are US-only), you face anything contentious or unusual, or you just want one or two documents — a specialist tool is cheaper.

  3. 3

    Sign and store it

    E-signature tools send, track and file signed copies so nothing sits unsigned in an inbox.

    After this step: A signed contract with copies stored safely.

    Legal & Contracts

    DocuSign

    The default e-signature platform — send documents for signature, track them and store signed copies, from $10 a month on an annual plan.

    Free trial · $10/month

    Is it right for me?

    Best for: Freelancers and teams in the UK, US and beyond who need documents signed online with a proper audit trail — especially where signers already trust the DocuSign name.

    Consider another option if: You sign rarely (free or cheaper tools cover a couple of documents a month), you need drafting and negotiation features rather than signing, or envelope caps don't fit your volume.
