CLIENT SERVICE AGREEMENT
Let’s start with the services you offer - health coaching, makeup artist and hairstyling for weddings and events.
Every time you take on a new client to provide your services to, you’ll want to sign a contract with them.
Here’s our recommendation.
WEBSITE LEGALITY
If you’re giving any sort of advice in a blog post, or on your website, that involves an industry requiring a license (such as the medical, legal, or financial, type industries), you must have a disclaimer stating that the reader shouldn’t rely solely on your advice.
In order to protect your business and your site visitors, you’ll want the following two essential templates on your website, the Privacy Policy & the Website Terms & Conditions.
Selling through your site
If you also are looking to make sales through your site (say, selling meal plans or fitness plans), we also have a Terms & Conditions for the Online Sales.
If you’d like to sell your expertise (say on building a MU business) as a course, then we also have a Terms & Conditions for Online Courses.
INCORPORATION
If you’re ready to take the step to incorporate your business as a LLC, you’ll need an operating agreement in order to start the incorporation process.
We have two LLC incorporation templates.
The Single Member LLC is for you if you’re founding the LLC solo.
The Multi-Member LLC is perfect if you’re funding the LLC with one or more business partners.
Note: You just need one of these agreements, not both.
*Can't decide which template you need? If you think you might bring on a partner at some point, we recommend the Multi-Member LLC Operating Agreement.
hiring
If you’re looking to bring on team members to help you with your health coaching or beauty business, such as other health coaches, hairstylist, or simply by bringing on a virtual assistant for a little back-end business assistance, there’s a few ways to hire them.
If you’re not sure what classification you should give your new team member (ie. employee, contractor, intern, extern, etc.), then we recommend first starting with our e-Book, the Fundamentals of Hiring.
After that, you’ll know what classification you’d like to give your new hire, and then you may purchase the relevant template.
Marketing & collaboration
If you’re ready to take this next step in your business towards growth, then we have some legal templates to get you started on all things marketing and collaborations!
Here’s what each is used for.
If you plan to sell a product (say a course) and wish to have other industry peers (affiliates) promote it, the affiliate agreement is the right fit for you.
If you are looking to start your own podcast and invite guests on it, then the Podcast Interview Agreement is right for you.
Finally, if you’d like a little help from guest posters/guest writers on your blog or online magazine, then the Article Submissions Agreement is right for you.
SERVICE CANCELLATIONS & TERMINATIONS
What happens if your client’s event gets delayed or they wish to cancel the wedding or event?
Our Rescheduling agreement and Termination & Cancellation agreement is the appropriate template to sign with your client, overriding your original client agreement and cancelling the project.
