A Statement of Work that actually gets you paid
Most SOWs are written to look official. This one's written to stop scope creep and get the money moving. Free, copy-paste ready.
A good SOW isn’t legal theatre. It’s the document you point at when a client says “I thought that was included.” Get it right and half your billing arguments never happen.
This is the template I wish I’d used for the first ten years of running my agency. Plain English. No “heretofores.”
What’s inside
Scope, written tight
What's in, and the bit everyone forgets: what's explicitly out.
Milestone payment schedule
Deposit + milestones, so you invoice on delivery instead of end-of-month.
Change-order language
The clause that turns “quick favour” into a billable line item.
Payment terms
Net 14 baked in, with a late-fee clause that does its job just by existing.
Approval + sign-off blocks
Who signs, when, and what they're agreeing to.
Why net 14, why milestones
