Commercial Support Without the Overhead
Most businesses cannot justify employing a full-time legal or compliance resource but they still need ongoing support to stay organised, reduce risk, and avoid costly disputes. ClauseWise fills that gap with a structured, affordable monthly membership.
The Business Protection Membership is not a law firm engagement. It is a structured, ongoing commercial support service covering the routine documentation, compliance monitoring and correspondence that every business needs, but few manage consistently.
Contracts
Review, monitor and manage your commercial agreements.
Compliance
Stay ahead of regulatory and contractual obligations.
Documentation
Maintain organised, accessible business records.
Risk Management
Identify and reduce commercial risk before it escalates.
Commercial Correspondence
Professional letters, notices and business communications.
Business Organisation
Structured support to keep your business running smoothly.
Built for Businesses That Can't Afford to Get It Wrong
The Business Protection Membership is designed for SMEs, sole proprietors, landlords and commercial operators who sign contracts, manage commercial relationships, or have ongoing compliance obligations.

Membership Questions Answered
What is included in the Business Protection Membership?
The membership provides ongoing routine commercial support across five systems: Contract Guardian® (contract reviews), Correspondence Shield® (business letters and notices), Compliance Calendar® (deadline reminders), Business Document Vault® (document register), and — for Business Professional members — the Commercial Health Report® (quarterly risk reporting). The scope and pricing of each membership is determined based on your business requirements — contact us for a tailored proposal.
What happens if I need additional work beyond my membership?
Where a matter falls outside the routine monthly scope — such as drafting a bespoke contract, employment documentation, tax compliance, or pre-litigation support — ClauseWise will provide a separate fixed-fee quotation. Members receive preferential pricing on all additional professional services.
Do unused allocations roll over to the following month?
Unused monthly allocations do not roll over. The membership is designed to provide consistent, ongoing support rather than a credit system. If you consistently require more than your allocation, we recommend upgrading to the Business Professional tier or discussing a revised scope with us.
Can I upgrade my membership?
Yes. You can upgrade from Business Essential to Business Professional at any time. The upgrade takes effect from the following billing month. Contact us to arrange the change.
What is considered routine support under the membership?
Routine support includes reviewing existing contracts, drafting standard business correspondence, maintaining your compliance calendar, updating your document register, and providing general commercial guidance within the monthly consultation allocation. Bespoke drafting, litigation support, tax submissions and other project-based work fall outside the routine scope and are quoted separately.
How quickly will requests be attended to?
Members receive priority turnaround. Routine requests are typically attended to within one to two business days. Urgent matters should be flagged via WhatsApp for the fastest response.
