Legal Question in Business Law in Iowa

I am a minor and would like to enter a business contract as a web designer. Is there any way I can give up my right to disaffirm the contract. Or what I am trying to say is: is there any way I can enter the contract on my own, while also letting the other party know that I can't back out, giving them peace of mind.

If you're not 18, you can't sign a binding contract other than for necessaries.

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorney answer. For this contract to move forward, think about involving a parent or some other non-minor aged person. For example, they could enter into the contract and state you are going to perform the web design work. But consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
