Because a four-figure coaching contract shouldn’t be the barrier to protecting your business.
For too long, minority-owned and women-owned coaching businesses have operated without real legal protection. Traditional attorney fees are out of reach for most new coaches, and the lack of structure leaves founders vulnerable to cancellations, scope creep, chargebacks, and blurred boundaries. This Coaching Services Agreement Template closes that gap. It’s written in plain language, fully editable in Word, and shaped by real disputes coaches face every day so you can run your business with clarity, confidence, and protection.
People don’t always respect minority-owned and women-owned businesses the way they respect major coaching firms. This agreement helps shift that dynamic. It signals professionalism, establishes boundaries, and ensures clients understand exactly what they’re investing in.
