When starting a new business relationship with a business partner, you’ll exchange confidential information, right? However, if you haven’t signed a confidentiality agreement in advance regarding that confidential information, it could be used for purposes other than intended or disclosed or leaked to third parties. Furthermore, if confidential information is leaked, it could result in financial losses for the company.
