business agreements

Deals between companies

Business agreements are formal arrangements between parties that establish terms for commercial dealings.

They may be legally binding contracts or informal understandings about how business will be conducted.

The phrase covers everything from partnership agreements to vendor contracts to licensing deals: We spent months negotiating the business agreements before the merger could proceed.
