Description

This Template is for you, if you are a small business owner wanting to hire a self-employed contractor (or freelancer) that will be doing work on behalf of your business and providing services to you.

This contract for services outlines the agreement between an independent contractor, freelancer or consultant and the organisation. It also states the services that the contractor is expected to provide and how long the provision of services is expected to last. If the contractor will be processing data on behalf of the employer, a separate agreement between the parties on data processing will need to be provided.

This is a Contract for Services Template which can be used for both sole traders and Limited Company’s and the person will need to invoice you for the work they do.

Common examples would include hiring a Virtual Assistant, Facebook Adverts Manager, SEO expert or an Accountant of Bookkeeper.

WHY YOU NEED THIS

If things did ever go sour with your Contractor, or they tried to screw you over, you will be so happy you have terms in place. It covers the following situations, and many more.

😡 Confidentiality – so they can’t share your strategies and secrets

😢 Non-Compete Agreements – In case they get poached by your competition

💬 Clarity – To prevent misunderstandings on their entitlements

😈 Intellectual Property – You should own this – not them

💷 Payment Terms – to avoid paying them when you shouldn’t have to

⚖ GDPR – So you get consent to hold their data, and comply with the law

🤔 Termination & Notice – For when the arrangement comes to an end

STILL NOT SURE IF IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU!
