Associate agreement
Bring an Associate into your business with clear boundaries, expectations and protection in place from the start.
If you’re engaging an Associate to work within your business and support your clients, it’s important that you clearly set out how that relationship will work.
An Associate is typically a trusted practitioner who works with your clients on behalf of your business, rather than simply providing a service to your business like a freelancer or contractor.
This comprehensive agreement is designed to reflect that closer working relationship, setting out the responsibilities of both parties while protecting your business and supporting a mutually beneficial arrangement.
The Associate Agreement includes a template contract together with comprehensive drafting notes explaining each clause and helping you tailor the agreement to suit your business and the way your Associate will work with you.
This template is suitable for business owners who engage Associates to work directly with their clients or deliver services on behalf of their business

Clear, easy to use plus guidance notes as standard
Almost every single entrepreneur feels a little out of their depth with legal documents. That's we created "Drafting Notes" which are included in every document bundle.
You'll find a short PDF of guidance notes within the bundle to support you to edit and personalise your template documents to suit the way you run your business. The guidance notes explain which parts of the template you should amend and which parts you definitely shouldn't alter as those clauses are legally required.
