Frequently asked questions

Can I add my own branding?

Yes. Every document is fully editable, so you can add your logo, change colors, and adjust fonts to match your brand.

Does this include a legal contract?

It includes a contract checklist that covers what your agreement should address, but not a legal contract. For contract language, work with a lawyer in your area.

Paid for itself with the first client

I sent the welcome packet to a new client the day I bought this. She replied that it was the most organized onboarding she had seen from a freelancer. The questionnaire alone saved me two back-and-forth email threads.

Exactly what it says it is

Clean documents, easy to edit, and the email scripts are genuinely good. I changed the colors to match my brand in about twenty minutes.

Great kit, wanted more contract help

The onboarding flow is excellent. I knew going in that it does not include an actual contract, but that is still the one thing I wish it had. Everything included is top quality.
