A contract, or also called an agreement, is a legal document made between two or more parties that involves in a certain business that one party provides something of value (such as goods or services or other resources) that the other party in return provide for something else that will benefit the other party.

How to Make a Political Consulting Contract

• Names of the parties involved: Include first the full names and titles of yours and the people with whom you’re doing business. Make sure all the spelling of everyone’s names is correct.
• Objectives: Make a list of the goals you and your client want to achieve during the candidacy and your work as their consultant and describe the objectives that will serve as your guide to accomplish your goals.
• Work description: Write down a brief description that specifies your work as a consultant and the general tasks you’re assigned to do.
• Roles and responsibilities: List down all the tasks you’re expected to do to reach your client’s goals. It is best to create a checklist of every responsibility to help you remember all the workload you will need to comply with and accomplish. If your client agrees, you can ask them to give you a sign-off on each phase of the workload in a specific timeline to signal that you completed the assigned responsibilities.
• Fees: This is where it is stated how much you will charge your client for the services you give to them and when they will pay for the fees. You can also include your payment terms here.
• Timeline: Don’t forget to include the timeline in the contract. Specify the start and end date of your work with your client along with any pertinent dates in between (such as sign-off dates and payment dates).
• Additional clauses: You may need to include further sections in your contract such as legal definitions, legal recourse if your client fails to pay you for services, nonperformance clause, etc. Approach an attorney to help you guide through these details.
