Why Contracts to Grow?

You didn’t start your business to get buried in legal confusion—and you sure as hell didn’t sign up for cookie-cutter contracts that leave you guessing.

Contracts to Grow is a contract template store built for solopreneurs and small business owners who want to protect their business without handing over their entire bank account—or their sanity.

You get lawyer-crafted Word docs, step-by-step guides in plain English, and real support from someone who’s been in the trenches just like you. This isn’t just a download. You get tools that work and a partner who’s all in on helping you grow.

Because legal protection shouldn’t be out of reach. You deserve access to quality legal guidance—without the $400/hour price tag.

The Legal Mind (and Magic) Behind Every Template

Is it Melissa or Mel?....It's Mel!

I’m the business attorney who, after years advising execs from the inside, left my in-house counsel role to give solopreneurs and small business owners clear, practical, and high-quality counsel that meets them where they are in their journey.

What I saw? Business owners drowning in legal guesswork and bandaid templates. What I did? Built contract templates that speak clearly and come with support. Because legal protection shouldn’t feel like a gamble.

I’m not just here to give you templates—I’m here to champion your business. I'm here to give you contracts that make sense, advice you can trust, and support that doesn’t disappear after the templates are downloaded. You’ll understand what you’re signing, why it matters, and how to move forward—so you can focus on building your business, not worrying about the legal side of it.
