Discounted bespoke contracts for BPCA members

At BEB, we’re passionate about protecting businesses with robust contracts and support.

In our experience, trades such as pest controllers are often the least well protected in this area - either because “it’s how they’ve always done things”, or because they think legal advice will be too expensive, so they often find themselves writing off debts unnecessarily.

Discounted bespoke contracts, terms and conditions

Having a bespoke set of terms and conditions drafted is the best way to fully protect your business. The benefits of bespoke contracts are:

  • Protection

Terms and conditions set out exactly what has been agreed between the business and their customer - they should sit alongside, and tie in with, the quotation.

This is what you will need to fall back on, in the event of a dispute.

With bespoke terms, we help our clients identify weak areas in their business when we are drafting T&Cs - kind of like a gap-analysis.

We’ll discuss how you work, how you want to work and any problems you’ve encountered in the past. We will then do our best to plug the gaps.

  • Legality

Terms and conditions don’t only protect the business, they also protect the customer.

As an example, if you work with consumers and you’re not aware of consumer rights and how these may affect the service you offer, then this could see you in a lot of trouble.

Either you’ll start work without obtaining a waiver of these rights, in which case the consumer could legally pay you nothing, or you could find yourselves under investigation by Trading Standards - both could be avoided with a bespoke, properly written set of T&Cs.

We’ll explain in practical terms how these laws apply to you and your business.

  • Promotion

A bespoke set of terms and conditions make a company look bigger and more professional.

We will work with you to make sure your terms perfectly match your business processes.

If you want to work with larger companies, you will often need some T&Cs to even get a foot in the door.

If you work with consumers and you’re not aware of consumer rights...then this could see you in a lot of trouble.
