With a combined 60 years of legal practice experience, the team behind shizl developed the platform in response to the evolving legal landscape and the need for clear, transparent guidance for businesses. Recognising how overwhelming legal matters can be for business owners, they created shizl to offer a straightforward, accessible solution.

The platform provides hassle-free legal document creation, guidance, and storage for both self-employed individuals and businesses. Whether it's drafting contracts, hiring employees, raising capital, or navigating growth, shizl ensures that businesses remain compliant and legally secure throughout their journey.

Talking about the launch, CEO, Mark Edgeworth, said: “The legal fundamentals of a business are often overlooked by business owners with the legal world often seeming overly complicated and prohibitively expensive, which if overlooked can cost a business hugely further down the line. shizl will not suit every legal situation and will not replace a lawyer for specialist advice, but it aims to equip businesses with the essential documents needed to eliminate the initial need for a solicitor during contract creation and agreement, and minimise the need for a lawyer further down the line if support is needed.”

Founders, Investors and Departmental Leaders can find everything they need in an easy to access, intuitive and cost-effective platform, from agency contracts, to referral agreements, NDA’s or SaaS agreements, documents are easy to find, edit and store.

The shizl platform allows businesses or individuals to personalise, sign and save all documents through DocuSign on a monthly or annual subscription basis, ensuring the legal fundamentals of their business are in one place at all times.
