Because minority-owned and women-owned service providers deserve contracts that protect their time, talent, and boundaries.
Service-based businesses deal with shifting expectations, scope creep, unclear communication, and clients who don’t always treat small businesses with the same respect they give large agencies. This Service Proposal Agreement was created to fix that. It’s written in plain language, fully editable in Word, and designed to help you lock in deliverables, secure your payment, and protect your work from the very beginning.
A clear proposal agreement shifts the dynamic instantly — positioning your business as structured, professional, and not to be taken advantage of.
