UK technology start-up Legalesign reached a milestone last Thursday when its e-Signature platform sent out its 500,000th contract.

e-Signature technology enables anyone to sign a contract electronically. It does away with paper and ink and gets contracts sent and signed fast, creating value for businesses who want to be environmentally friendly, save money, increase their productivity and provide a better experience for their customers.

Legalesign was developed at The University of Edinburgh Appleton Tower technology incubator and is now based in central Edinburgh. It provides online e-Signature software for business. With customers from the UK and USA, it sends 1,000-1,200 contracts every working day, having reached half a million contracts last week.

Ben Eliott, CEO of Legalesign, said:

“Businesses adopt Legalesign e-Signature when they discover what a big positive impact such a small step can make. The efficiency gains are remarkable. It immediately cuts cost, helps management, improves customer service and is environmentally friendly: providing a system that improves business practice for contract handling overall.

Customers choose Legalesign because the system is battle-tested to be robust and reliable, having grown organically based on real-world situations, and because we put customers front and centre of our business.

It’s not good enough to hear back from your e-Signature provider seven days later while a large sale hangs in the balance. This is why Legalesign is proving a popular choice over remote US e-Signature corporates, and why it is fast becoming the UK leader in e-Signature.”
