Before you share an idea, a proposal, a commercial opportunity or sensitive business information, it is worth putting the basics in writing.

A Non-Disclosure Agreement, or NDA, helps create clear boundaries around what can be shared, how information can be used, and what happens if the conversation does not move forward.

We have created a simple NDA Starter Pack for founders, growing businesses and SMEs who want a more confident way to start commercial conversations.

Inside the pack, you’ll find:

  • A plain-English guide to when an NDA is useful

  • A simple explanation of the difference between a one-way and mutual NDA

  • An editable one-way NDA template

  • An editable mutual NDA template

  • Practical notes on what to check before using it

  • AI/confidential information wording to help protect sensitive business information

When might you need an NDA?

You may want to use an NDA before sharing confidential information with:

  • a potential investor

  • a supplier or manufacturer

  • a consultant, freelancer or agency

  • a possible commercial partner

  • a buyer, licensee or distributor

  • another business during early-stage collaboration discussions

  • anyone reviewing sensitive documents, data, plans or know-how

An NDA will not fix every risk. But it can give both sides a clearer starting point before information begins to move.

What does the pack help with?

This pack is designed to help you:

  • understand whether you need a one-way or mutual NDA

  • protect business plans, ideas, know-how, documents, pricing, customer information and commercial strategy

  • set limits on how information can be used

  • control who can see the information

  • ask for information to be returned or deleted

  • avoid relying on vague assumptions or informal promises

It gives you a stronger starting point than a handshake, a copied template or a “we’ll keep this between us” email.

Is this legal advice?

No. The NDA Starter Pack is provided as general guidance and a practical template. It is not a substitute for legal advice tailored to your business, your risk, your sector or the specific deal you are discussing.

Some situations need more protection than a standard NDA can provide, especially where intellectual property, data, investment, technology, AI, product development or future ownership rights are involved.

If you are not sure whether the template is right for your situation, we can help you review it before you use it. Get In Touch

Need something more tailored?

The free NDA pack is a useful starting point.

However, if the conversation involves anything commercially important, unusual or high value, it may be worth getting the NDA tailored before you send it.

True Counsel helps founders and growing businesses put the right legal foundations in place without making the process feel heavier than it needs to be.

We can help with:

  • tailored NDAs

  • founder agreements

  • supplier and service contracts

  • consultancy agreements

  • commercial terms

  • IP and confidentiality protection

  • legal support for growth, investment and partnerships

Straight-forward legal support, with protection behind it.

Legal should not slow your business down. But it should protect what you are building.
