Long term contracts

[sketchstudiosla]

Does anyone here know where one might find information or templates for writing long term contracts. Such as for a few hundred jobs over the course of a year or a few years?

Sorry, no template but you would most likely want to have one governing contract outlining the general terms such as pricing, process, payment details etc. and then have each job as a separate traceable job number under the governing contract so you can invoice and track as you push through them and minimize the admin paperwork along the way.

That way, the people in charge have ultimate responsibility for you getting paid and coordinators can handle the barebones scope docs along the way.

Week 7: Sample Business Plan

A critical document for any starting business or freelancer is a solid business plan. When done correctly and thoroughly, it can become the most important document that your business ever produces and can save an immeasurable time and money in the long run. This is a sample business plan that 3DAS used during its inception.

It could be a nice start.

A business plan is a business plan, not a work contract.

 

Like John said, a governing or 'blanket' type of contract that outlines conditions for the whole contract as well as non specific conditions relating to the contract on a job by job basis is needed. You could also writeup extra conditions needed for particular jobs too.

 

I dont think writing your own contract is anything to be scared of. Just keep it clear and simple and have it checked by someone you know.

keep it clear and simple and have it checked by someone you know.

 

Preferably that someone would be a lawyer.
