About the non-disclosure agreement (nda)

A non-disclosure agreement, or NDA, is a contract where one or both parties agree to keep shared information confidential. People use it before sharing an idea, a plan, or business details.

This fillable template covers the common parts: who the parties are, what counts as confidential, how long it lasts, and where each party signs.

When you need it

  • Before you share an idea with a contractor or partner.
  • When two businesses explore working together.
  • Before showing sensitive numbers to a potential investor.

Frequently asked questions

Is a template NDA enough?

For routine situations a clear template is often fine. For high-value or complex deals, have a lawyer review it. This template is a convenience, not legal advice.

What is the difference between a one-way and mutual NDA?

A one-way NDA protects information shared by one side. A mutual NDA protects information shared by both.

How long should an NDA last?

It varies. A few years is common for general business information, but pick a period that fits your situation.
