Why Effective Documents Are a Must for Incubators
Why should incubation programs use written agreements in their interactions with clients? Anyone who's ever been burned on a verbal agreement likely can think of many reasons. Participating parties can too easily interpret verbal pacts differently, and informal agreements can lead to inconsistencies in how an incubator treats individual clients. Additionally, without a written document to reference, it's difficult to convey the terms of a standing agreement to new management on either side of the table.
