Closing the Deal with an E Signature

There was a time when the only way to complete a business deal was in person as everyone involved was required to physically sign the contract. If all parties could not be present the delays caused by sending the contract back and forth in the mail or via courier service could be costly and frustrating. Thanks to the Internet and the e signature, this is no longer an issue.

The E Signature is Perfectly Legal

For the longest time the e signature was not considered as legally binding, but today with the new security protocols in place as well as the ENSIGN Act and UETA, any time a person signs a contract electronically, it is considered legally binding. In fact if you have to go to court, you will find that an electronic signature is considered as binding as one that has been signed using a pen and paper. This has sped up the process of contract negotiations significantly, which has helped businesses get things done in a more timely fashion.
