Sub-Contractors

[connie...@gmail.com]

HELP!  I own a sucessful Dessert Catering Business - specializing in Custom Dessert Buffets for weddings, corporate events, etc.  For the last year I have been working with 2 other ladies p(friends).  Each of us started our own businesses years ago and came together under one unified name in order to participate in a Bridal Show last year.  Since them the business has grown by leaps and bounds and at the beginnin of the year my two friends/partners decided to become "sub-contractors/preferred vendors" to the company rather than partners (reasons having to do with taxes, etc. NO falling out).

I have not had to work with sub-contractors until now and I'm looking for help/direction in Sub-Contract Agreements, Confidentiality Agreements, Etc.

When a client contacts me for cakes, desserts, etc.  I need to be able to contract others for those services seeing that I myself do not  bake. I need to have something in writing with other businesses that protects me and my brand/business.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
