Whether you’re starting a new coaching business or IT / technical consulting company—or have been in one a long time—you know about client paperwork.

Lots of paperwork! In fact, it can sometimes take days, weeks—even months—to get the paperwork done. Non Disclosure Agreements, Scope of Work Documents, Master Consulting Agreements, Computing or Fair Use Policies, Purchase Orders or “POs”, and the list goes on.

While that list may seem daunting, it’s reality. And something smaller firms often get tripped up on is the paperwork of dealing with really large organizations.
