Different Types of Business Agreements
A business agreement is a formally drawn written document or oral promise between two or more parties that details a particular business venture. A typical business agreement specifies details such as cost of goods sold, the product or service required, milestones, insurance, and work completion deadlines.

The party acting on the offeror's promise is the offeree. An example of a unilateral agreement is a newspaper ad offering reward for a lost item, such as a passport.

Bilateral Agreement
A bilateral agreement or contract is one in which two parties exchange legally binding promises. Most business transactions undergo bilateral agreements, in which buyers and sellers exchange promises to buy and deliver a product or service. A sales contract is a bilateral agreement.

A partnership agreement is a formal document that details the general provisions, capital, profit and loss, salaries and withdrawals, interest, managerial duties and restrictions, banking, books, voluntary termination, death and arbitration.
