How eSignHub Works
An electronic signature is a digital indication of a person's intent to agree to the contents of a document. eSignHub lets you collect legally binding e-signatures in four simple steps — no printing, scanning, or posting required.
Upload Your Document
Upload any PDF, Word document, or use one of our templates to get started.
Add Signature Fields
Place signature, initials, date, and text fields where you need them.
Send for Signature
Invite signers via email and track the document status in real-time.
Secure & Legally Binding
All signatures are legally binding with full audit trail and tamper-proof sealing.
What Is an Electronic Signature?
An electronic signature (e-signature) is any electronic symbol, sound, or process attached to a record that a person adopts with the intent to sign. Under the US ESIGN Act (2000) and the EU eIDAS Regulation (2014), e-signatures carry the same legal weight as handwritten signatures for most business transactions.
eSignHub captures signer consent, records IP addresses and timestamps, and generates a SHA-256 tamper-proof hash for every signed document — meeting or exceeding the evidentiary requirements of both frameworks.
How Does the Signing Process Work?
Step 1 — Upload: Upload a PDF, Word document, or pick from 150+ legal templates (NDAs, SAFEs, employment contracts, and more). Supported formats include .pdf, .docx, and .doc up to 25 MB per file.
Step 2 — Add Fields: The drag-and-drop editor lets you place signature pads, initial boxes, date pickers, text inputs, and checkboxes. Assign each field to a specific signer — eSignHub supports multi-party signing with up to 10 signers per envelope.
Step 3 — Send: Enter each signer's email. They receive a secure link and can sign from any device — desktop, tablet, or phone — without installing software or creating an account. Automatic reminders are sent after 24, 48, and 72 hours if a signer hasn't completed.
Step 4 — Sealed & Stored: Once all parties sign, eSignHub generates a completion certificate with sha-256 hashes, signer metadata, IP addresses, and timestamps. The sealed document is stored in your dashboard with full version history.
Why Use eSignHub Over Paper Signatures?
- Speed: Documents are signed in under 2 minutes on average, versus 5–7 business days for postal mail.
- Cost savings: Eliminate printing, postage, and courier fees — the average business saves $20 per document signed electronically (source: Forrester, 2024).
- Legal compliance: Full ESIGN Act & eIDAS compliance, including tamper-proof audit trails, consent recording, and completion certificates.
- Security: AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and ESIGN Act & eIDAS compliance. Documents are stored in EU and US data centres.
- Accessibility: Signers don't need accounts — just an email link on any modern browser.
How Is My Data Protected?
eSignHub uses AES-256 encryption for documents at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit. Every signature event is logged in an immutable audit trail that records the signer's IP address, browser fingerprint, geolocation (if consented), and a cryptographic hash of the document at the moment of signing.

What Documents Can I Sign?
You can sign virtually any business document: NDAs, employment contracts, consulting agreements, board resolutions, investment term sheets, SAFEs, share transfer forms, and more. eSignHub includes 150+ ready-to-use templates covering legal, HR, finance, and operations use cases. Some document types are excluded from e-signature laws, including wills, family law orders, and court documents.
