Commercial Contracts and Business Risk Consulting
The business reading of a contract, before you sign.
Commercial contract consulting means that before you sign with a supplier, a customer, a partner or a landlord, I read the contract with you through business eyes: what you pay and when, what you commit to, how you get out, and where risk quietly moves onto you. Then we prepare together what to ask for in the negotiation.

We can talk in English, Hebrew or Russian.
Does This Sound Familiar?
I signed contracts without fully understanding what I was committing to.
I don't know which clauses in my agreements could hurt my cash flow later.
A big deal is on the table, and I don't know which terms are worth fighting for.
The business is growing, and I need to see my risks, not only my opportunities.
Sound familiar? The first conversation is free.

After I finished a cosmetology course at a leading company, I was confused. I didn't know how to open a business, what to sell from home, or how to bring in clients. Since I reached out to Mobius, everything has changed. We built an organized plan with clear steps and no unnecessary risks. Today I see results, and I'm growing and developing every month.

When I finished a massage course, I imagined a different world. I found out it's a hard field, and financial stability isn't easy to find. When I came to Mobius, something changed. We started an organized process and built a business plan. Without Mobius? I probably would have given up. Today I believe in myself and in my own path.
What you get
A contract you understand
Each important clause in plain business words, so you sign knowing what it costs you, what it commits you to and how you get out.
No surprises a year later
The dates, renewals and obligations that usually surface too late are known before you sign, so you can plan around them.
A stronger place at the table
You come to the negotiation knowing what matters to the business and what does not, so you spend your leverage on the terms that count.
Along the way you get the supporting and guiding materials the work needs, with clear instructions.

How likely it is to bite
Unlikely

What it costs if it does
A lot
Limit it
A cap or a cover, worded by your lawyer
- A cap on the other side's liability
Negotiate before signing
Then your lawyer words it
- Who owns the result
- Payment milestones
- The scope of the work
Little
Accept as usual
- Standard confidentiality
Plan around it
A date or a cost to put in the calendar
- Automatic renewal
Clauses from one example contract, placed by how likely each one is to bite and how much it would cost the business if it did. The corner says what to do with it: accept it, plan around it, limit it, or negotiate it before you sign, and the costly ones go to your lawyer for the wording.
Simplified. The real reading goes through what you pay and when, what you commit to and how you get out, prepares what to ask for and what to trade in the negotiation, and ends with a short summary of the main risk points.

What the work can include
You do not need all of it. In the first conversation we choose together the parts your business needs.
- I read the contract with you through business eyes, before you sign.
- I mark the hidden risks, clauses that look standard but quietly move risk onto you, such as automatic renewal or a limit on the other side's liability, and explain each one in plain words.
- I prepare the negotiation with you: which terms to ask for, what to trade and what to accept, and how to word a counter offer the other side can agree to.
- After the reading we go over it together in a call, and you get a short summary of the main risk points.
- I read supplier and customer agreements, partnership agreements, leases, franchise agreements, an agreement with a first employee, confidentiality agreements, founders and shareholders agreements, and distribution and agency agreements.
- Beyond one contract, I map where the business is exposed with customers, suppliers, partners and pricing, and what to do about it.
- When a lawyer works on the contract, I work beside that lawyer, and the business terms reach them already agreed, so their work starts at the wording.
Have a contract on the table? In the first conversation we look at which of these it needs.
How the work goes
A free first conversation
We talk, see whether my work fits what your business needs, and I suggest the kind of work that suits you.
You send me the draft
The contract or the offer you received, with a few words on the deal and what matters to you in it.
The risks, and a call about them
I read the contract through business eyes, and we go over the risks together in a call, with a short summary of the main risk points and what to ask for.
The ongoing work
We meet as often as the business needs. Between meetings you can send me a short question on WhatsApp, and I reply as soon as I can.
Want to see how these steps would look for you? That is what the first conversation is for.

Who does what
What I do
- Read the contract through business eyes
- Mark the risks and explain each one in plain words
- Prepare the negotiation with you
What you do
- Send the draft and tell me what matters to you in the deal
- Lead the negotiation, the decisions stay yours
- Sign when the terms fit the business
If a lawyer works on the contract with you, I work alongside them.
What to bring to the first conversation
Bring what you already have, even if it is incomplete. We can start without it too.
- The draft contract or the offer you received
- A few words on the deal: who the other side is and what you want from it
Whatever you show me about your business stays between the two of us, exactly as it does for every other client of mine.
Who it fits
- An owner about to sign with a supplier, a customer, a partner or a landlord.
- A business negotiating its first large deal or partnership.
- An owner who signed in the past without reading closely and wants to know where the business stands today.
When is it better to start elsewhere?
If the business has not opened yet and the first agreements are part of setting it up.
In that case, start here: Business Launch Support
And the paperwork, for anyone who wants to see that too.

You work directly with me, and I stay your point of contact throughout the work.
- How does it start?
- With a free first conversation of 15 to 30 minutes, by phone or by video. In it we name the problem and shape the work around it. It is not where the answer is handed over. The answer comes out of the work that follows.
- How long before I see results?
- Not from the first meeting, and not from the first few. First we have to understand where the business really stands, so the effort goes only where it works and nothing that already works gets broken. When measurable, steady results come depends on the business and on the pace of the work. After a first conversation I can tell you what to expect in your field.
- How much of my time will it take?
- A meeting of about an hour, as often as the business needs, and a little more at the start while I learn the business. The rest is carrying out the plan, and that is work you would be doing in your business anyway, not time spent in meetings.
- Do my books have to be in order first?
- No. Paperwork is an important tool, but it is not a condition for starting. We begin from where things stand today and put the papers in order along the way, so the work never waits for them.
- What kinds of businesses do you work with?
- I have worked with self-employed professionals, small businesses and startups, in beauty and wellness, the trades, food, retail, manufacturing, education, hi-tech and real estate investment, in Israel and abroad. Your trade matters less than your stage. A bakery and a software company at the same stage are usually stuck on the same thing.
Frequently asked questions
Which contracts can you look at?
The commercial agreements of the business: with suppliers and with customers, partnership agreements, leases, franchise agreements, an agreement with a first employee, confidentiality agreements, founders and shareholders agreements, and distribution and agency agreements. In each of them I look at the same questions: what it costs you, what you commit to, what happens when something goes wrong, and how you get out.
What does a clause look like through business eyes?
Take automatic renewal. The clause says the contract renews for another year unless you give notice some time before it ends. In business terms: if you miss that date, you are committed for another year at the same price, even if you have since found a better supplier. Or a limit on liability: if the other side's liability is capped at the value of one month of work, a failure that costs you much more stays mostly with you.
Can you help negotiate the terms?
Yes, and that is where the work matters most. Most commercial terms have consequences: payment milestones affect your cash flow and your ability to collect, the definition of scope decides whether extra work is paid or given away, the intellectual property clause decides who owns the result, and the termination terms decide how easy it is to leave. I help you decide which terms to fight for, what to trade, what to accept as usual, and how to word counter offers so the other side sees them as reasonable.
How is this different from what a lawyer does?
A lawyer is responsible for the legal side: legal opinions, binding wording and representation. My part is the business side next to it: what the terms mean for your cash, your commitments and your way out, and which of them to negotiate. When a lawyer is involved, the two kinds of work run side by side.
Can I bring a contract I have already signed?
Yes. A signed contract still decides a lot: when you can leave, what renews by itself, and what you owe if something goes wrong. Knowing that lets you plan, and you come to the next negotiation with the same side prepared.
