Introduction

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, small business owners face a multitude of challenges. Among these challenges, legal matters often rank high on the list. Contracts, renewals, and consultations are essential aspects of running a successful business, but they can also be expensive and time-consuming when handled by traditional means. However, the future of small business ownership is being transformed by the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) contract drafting, renewal, and consulting tools. These innovative solutions are not only streamlining legal processes but also helping small business owners save significant amounts of money by reducing their reliance on expensive lawyers.

The Burden of Legal Complexity

For small business owners, navigating the legal intricacies of contracts and agreements is a daunting task. Legal documents are filled with jargon, nuances, and potential pitfalls that can lead to costly disputes or lost opportunities. Traditionally, entrepreneurs have had no choice but to engage the services of lawyers to draft, review, and renew contracts, which can quickly add up in terms of costs.

Contracting is a common activity, but it is one that few companies do efficiently or effectively. In fact, it has been estimated that inefficient contracting causes small businesses to lose between 5% to 40% of value on a given deal, depending on circumstances. But recent technological developments like artificial intelligence (AI) are now helping companies overcome many of the challenges to contracting.

The main challenge small businesses face in contracting arises from the sheer number of contracts they must keep track of; these often lack uniformity and are difficult to organize, manage, and update. Most small businesses don’t have a database of all the information in their contracts — let alone an efficient way to extract all that data — so there’s no orderly and fast way to, for example, view complex outsourcing agreements or see how a certain clause is worded across different divisions. It requires a lot of manpower to draft, execute, and improve not only the contracts themselves, but also the contracting processes and the transactions these contracts govern.

If, for example, a SaaS tech company finds itself with a huge volume of procurement contracts that all have varying renewal dates and renegotiation terms, it would require hundreds of hours and a team of contract managers to review and track all this information to ensure that no renewal or opportunity is missed.

AI software, however, can easily extract data and clarify the content of contracts. (It could quickly pull and organize the renewal dates and renegotiation terms from any number of contracts.) It can let companies review contracts more rapidly, organize and locate large amounts of contract data more easily, decrease the potential for contract disputes (and antagonistic contract negotiations), and increase the volume of contracts it is able to negotiate and execute.

In our research, I have seen that many companies use expensive lawyers, and a smaller number of small businesses — mostly those with a high volume of routinized contracts — use more advanced software with AI capabilities. These small businesses have generally seen an increase in productivity and efficiency in their contracting.
