Ask Why do some clients refuse to sign a contract even when serious money is involved?

[Edward22]

It is strange how some clients become uncomfortable the moment you bring up a contract, even when the project is worth a lot of money. You would think that a written agreement would make both sides feel more protected, but some clients act like it signals distrust. A contract is just a way to make sure everyone is on the same page before work starts. Have you ever had a client refuse to sign one, and how did you handle it?
