To make your contract as effective as possible, be sure to include these eight key elements:
Your contact information and license number
This gives your clients an easy way to get in touch if they need to. Including your license number shows that you're a registered business, which helps build trust.
A contract or billing number
This helps you keep track of clients and makes billing more efficient.
A detailed list of the services you'll provide and on what schedule
This should include jobs you'll do at every visit as well as jobs you'll do once in a while. List the frequency after each service. This helps clear up miscommunications about the scope of work you and your clients agree to.
Your prices per service
Again, this helps avoid confusion and ensure that you and your clients are on the same page.
A schedule of when you'll perform your services
Most people prefer maids, janitors, carpet cleaners, and other cleaning professionals to visit their homes at specific times of the day and week. Identify these explicitly in your contract. If anything changes, you can easily update the contract and keep track of your schedule.
