Hi,



I am just getting started with my own business. I know that I need some kind of contract (job sheet). Can anyone tell me, how or where to get these? Or do I just make them myself?



Any kind of advice is very much appreciated



Thanks, Ute

When working with translation agencies you might not need this, they usually have their own translator agreements, purchase orders etc. However, it might be useful when working directly with clients; you can copy and paste it in Word and modify it to your needs. I used it a few times, clients never had a problem with it.



Good luck!
