The Opportunity

Problem

Freelancers risk legal penalties and contract disputes due to manual compliance checks when serving US/EU clients.

Solution

Freelancers upload contracts or paste text, and ComplyScan uses AI to instantly identify legal risks like missing GDPR clauses, US tax withholding issues, or unenforceable terms. It provides editable fix suggestions and compliance scores to prevent disputes. One-click export reports build trust with clients.

Target Audience
