What we check in your contracts

Our scanner analyses your contract and flags clauses that could leave you exposed. No legal jargon, just plain English explanations.

Payment terms

Are you waiting 60+ days to get paid? Are there penalties for late payment? What happens if they dispute the invoice?

Liability & indemnification

Could you be held liable for more than the contract value? Are there unlimited indemnity clauses hiding in the fine print?

IP & ownership

Are you signing over all rights to your work? Can you use it in your portfolio? Who owns what if the project is cancelled?

Termination clauses

Can they cancel with no notice? Do you still get paid for work completed? What about work in progress?

Scope & change control

How are changes to scope handled? Is there a clear process for additional work, or are you expected to absorb it?

What we're building

We're building protection products for freelancers. Here's what's on our roadmap. We'll share more details as we finalise partnerships with UK insurers.

Coming soon

Late payment protection

When clients pay late, you still get paid on time. Working with UK insurers to make this a reality.

Coming soon

Income protection that works

Most income protection has a 4-8 week waiting period. We're working on something better for the freelance reality.

Coming soon

Professional indemnity bundles

PI insurance designed for how freelancers actually work, not retrofitted from corporate policies.

Questions & answers

"I've been freelancing for over a decade. I've signed contracts I didn't understand, chased invoices for months, and worried about what happens if a client goes bust owing me money. Every freelancer I know has similar stories. We deserve better tools and protection. That's why I'm building WorkMoat - the safety net I wish I'd had from day one."
