I purchased a set of contracts ... made for VAs - i have to try to remember where I got them from ... but it was complete set. I'll look for them and see if I can post the link as a resource.

Tonja,

That would be great.

Melanie,

Welcome to the forum. Nice to meet you. I'm also currently in the process of setting up my business. Great clause in your client agreement. I'm definitely making a note of this!

Evelyn, Janet and Colleen,

Thanks so much for the warm welcome. You all have started a fire (which is exactly what I needed, as I had been dragging my feet about finalizing the agreement) under my rear end to get this agreement finalized and ultimately to formally launch my biz.

I think we all know how life just happens and as it was happening, I had been putting my goals/aspirations on the back burner. No more! I pledge to finalize the agreement and post it here on the forum within the next five days.

Definately interested in contract templates. Thanks!

Interested here too. I have been working to consolidate all the forms I have found -- it is a long process. Would you be incorporating your rates also or would this be an additional piece?

Cindy

Hi Ladies,

I've been absent from these forums for awhile but I wanted to let you know that we have a great library of free forms here in the VAF document library. These forms are courtesy of other VAs.

I have more "official looking" forms that I purchased elsewhere but I don't use them. The service agreement form I use was found right here at VAF.

I am definately interested.....

Cindy,

I grappled with that question too. I decided to include the pricing inside of the agreement. In my experience, separate exhibits to the agreement tend to get "lost" by the client. For instance, in Article 1 of the agreement, I will list all of the duties that I am to perform for the client. Just to the right of each particular duty, I plan to add the rate. So, just as an example, Article 1 will look like this:

"1. Engagement. Client engages VA to render, and VA agrees to render to Client, certain office management services as follows:

a) Website Maintenance $35.00 per hour (minimum 1 hour)
b) Preparation of Policies and Procedures Manual $45.00 per hour
c) Internet Research $25.00 per hour (minimum 1 hour)

In the event that I perform a duty in the future that was not listed on the original agreement, I plan to confirm all pricing via email and to send an amendment to the agreement that includes pricing for the new duty. That way, I have email confirmation/documentation AND an amendment, in case of any disputes up the road.

Just curious,

How do you feel about making your client agreement available for download on your website?

OK Ladies,

I've finished the Agreement, however the file exceeds the storage limit set by this forum. I would truly love to receive feedback regarding the Agreement, so if you care to review please send a PM and I will email it to you.
