What is a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?

A Non Disclosure Agreement (also known as an NDA) is a document that individuals and businesses produce to ensure that one party keeps the other’s information confidential. NDAs are used across businesses

Why might I need an NDA?

There are a number of reasons why you might need an NDA. For example, if you are pitching a business idea to investors you may want to ensure that your trade secrets are kept secure. NDAs can also be preventative; setting out the terms of disclosure can help avoid any costly legal battles at a later date.

Can’t I just use a sample one from the Internet?

You can, however using a template NDA taken from the Internet doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you are protected. LISA will ask questions as you create your NDA, allowing you to produce a document that is bespoke to you and the receiver.

How do I create an NDA using LISA?

Using LISA is easy. Before you begin make sure you have the following information (some may not be relevant to you):
  • Your first name, last name (surname) and address.
  • If your business is a Partnership, the first name and surname (last name) and address of one of your partners.
  • If your business is a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), its LLP name, number and registered office address.
  • If your business is a Limited Company, its full company name, registered number and registered office address.
