Service Agreement Template

Structure Your Service Relationships with Clarity

A Service Agreement is more than a legal document — it’s an operating standard for how your business delivers services, sets expectations, and protects relationships.

Use this professional Service Agreement template to clearly define scope, responsibilities, timelines, payments, and quality standards, so your business runs with fewer misunderstandings and more consistency.

This template is part of the Business Operating System (BOS) by Business in a Box — designed to help companies operate with structure, not chaos.

What Is a Service Agreement?

A Service Agreement is a formal contract between a service provider and a client that defines how services will be delivered.

It establishes:

• What services are included (and excluded)
• Who is responsible for what
• How and when payments are made
• How performance, changes, and disputes are handled
• How the relationship can be ended or modified

By turning informal arrangements into written standards, a Service Agreement helps your business operate professionally and predictably.

Why This Service Agreement Matters

Without a clear service agreement, businesses rely on assumptions, emails, and memory — which often leads to confusion, delays, and disputes.

This template helps you:

• Create clear expectations for both parties
• Reduce misunderstandings and scope creep
• Protect your business legally and operationally
• Standardize how services are delivered
• Build trust and credibility with clients

In short, it replaces ambiguity with structure.
