Consultancy Agreement (consultancy company to client) – short form

What is a consultancy agreement (consultancy company to client) and when should you use it?

A consultancy agreement is an agreement between a company (usually referred to as the “client”) and a service entity (usually referred to as the “consultant”).

The consultant agrees to provide a service to the client for a fee.

The consultant may agree to provide a one-off service for a set fee or continuing services to the client for a predetermined length of time for a fee.

This Limited Company Consultancy Agreement (Short) provides a short and simple agreement for a consulting company to provide consulting services for a company client, using one or more employees or contractors engaged by the consulting company.

With minor adjustments, this document may also be used where a consulting company intends to provide consulting services to an individual.

The agreement creates a legal relationship between the consulting company and the client company requiring services.

This template provides an agreement which can easily be used for simple and short term relationships.

Where the consultant is a self-employed individual or sole trader, our alternative short form
