Factory Production Agreements

Okay, so you’ve created a product, found a great factory to make it, and you’re ready for a full production run. This is an exciting moment. It’s also the scariest moment for product entrepreneurs getting a product made for the first time. Even veteran product professionals get nervous when going into production on a new product for the very first time. It is hard to anticipate every issue that can arise and it can take time to get it right.

You will probably have a significant amount of money on the line and cannot afford to get bad product or to miss your deadlines. However, mistakes do happen. This is where a production agreement with your factory comes into play. Not signing a legally binding factory agreement is one of the biggest and most common mistakes that entrepreneurs make when manufacturing overseas.
