to renew your contracts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contracts are designed to protect you and your clients. For example, if you don\u2019t have a contract, you may end up in a dispute with a client who believes your services were less expensive than they are or expected those services to be completed earlier than possible. On the other side of the coin, contracts hold you accountable for what you promise your clients. They outline service dates and expectations that must be met to avoid a breach of contract.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But those protections end for all parties when the contract expires. As such, it\u2019s important to renew your contracts to ensure that all parties involved are constantly protected for as long as the relationship lasts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"renewal-vs-extension\"><strong>Contract renewal vs. contract extension<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contract renewals and contract extensions may seem like the same thing. While they are similar, there are key differences between the two. The most important differences include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Contract renewals:<\/strong> Contract renewals are completely new contracts. That means they open the door to changes. For example, after you provide a service for two years, inflation may lead to price changes. A contract renewal allows you to make those changes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contract extensions:<\/strong> Contract extensions simply extend the existing contract. That means nothing can change, and all of the terms of the existing contract remain valid through the life of the extension.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When a contract renewal is better<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A contract renewal is often the better option when you need to make changes to the agreement upon expiration. These are typically best when:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Services change:<\/strong> When your contract period ends, your clients may want to take advantage of additional services when they renew their agreements.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prices change:<\/strong> Inflation leads to an increase in the cost of operating your business. As such, you\u2019ll need to increase your prices from time to time. If your price is changing, a contract renewal makes more sense than an extension.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Terms change:<\/strong> You may decide to change the terms you operate under from time to time. This may be done to give you more time to complete projects, to offer stronger protections for you and your clients, or for any number of other reasons. In any case, when your current contract terms change, renewals make more sense than contract extensions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When a contract extension is better<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While contract renewals are better when something changes, contract extensions are typically the best option when there are no changes to the agreement. So if you\u2019re simply extending the time you\u2019re providing the service for and you\u2019d like to extend the protections your current contract provides, a contract extension makes sense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"process\"><strong>When should you start the contract renewal process?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The contract renewal process can take some time. So it\u2019s not a good idea to wait until your current contract expires to address a renewal. Instead, you\u2019ll want to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/getmolo.com\/blog\/contract-renewal-process-management-and-top-tips\">address renewals well in advance<\/a> of your contract expiring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some businesses start the contract renewal process 30 days before their current contracts expire, it\u2019s typically best to give yourself and your clients between 60 and 90 days to come to a new agreement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s important because your schedule and your client&#8217;s schedule may not meet up. Moreover, it\u2019s important to have time to hash out any details that may require negotiations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"include\"><strong>What should the contract renewal process include?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The contract renewal process typically includes the following steps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inform your client:<\/strong> The first thing you\u2019ll need to do is reach out to your client to let them know their contract will be expiring soon. You should give plenty of time between your first contact and the contract renewal date. This should be done 60 to 90 days before the contract expires.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Have a conversation:<\/strong> As you near the expiration of your current contract, have a conversation with your client to determine their level of satisfaction with your services and whether or not they need to change anything.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Determine if a renewal or an extension is best:<\/strong> Based on the factors above, determine whether the contract should be renewed or extended. Keep in mind that renewals are best when the agreement changes; extensions are best when the agreement stays the same.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Obtain signatures:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve come to a new agreement, it\u2019s time to send that agreement out for reviews and signatures. HoneyBook makes this process easy by giving your clients a way to digitally sign your agreements while offering you legally approved templates to work from.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips\"><strong>Tips for managing contract renewals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few tips that should help you better manage your contract renewals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start early<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, waiting until your original contract has expired or is nearly expired is typically a mistake. While you may be able to quickly renew contracts with some clients, it\u2019s usually best to give yourself and the client between 60 and 90 days to come to a new agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use a contract management software solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Technological innovation has changed the way we do just about everything, making various parts of life more efficient. Why not let it make contract management more efficient too? There are several software solutions out there that are designed to help you manage your contracts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many of these dedicated contract solutions are great, there are other options too. For example, HoneyBook offers a host of contract management features alongside other features, including the ability to accept payments, let your clients book appointments online, and automate some of the mundane tasks associated with running a business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Share and sign your contracts digitally and securely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pen-and-paper contracts are quickly becoming a thing of the past. In today\u2019s fast-paced world, clients are expecting things to happen immediately, including contract renewals. The best way to meet these expectations is to send your contracts digitally, and securely, with a platform like HoneyBook.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make sure your new contracts are legally binding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smith.ai\/blog\/5-ways-to-tell-if-a-contract-is-legally-binding\">Contracts are worth having only if they\u2019re legally binding.<\/a> But some things can\u2019t be legally binding. So how do you make sure your contracts are?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consulting an attorney to review each contract is always a solid option, but it can become expensive. The HoneyBook Template Gallery offers a cost-effective alternative, featuring <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/free-contract-templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"contract templates\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4509\">contract templates<\/a> that have already been lawyer-reviewed and approved.

With HoneyBook, you can easily customize these <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/templates\/category\/contract-templates\">contract templates<\/a> to fit your business, ensuring your contracts are both professional and legally compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contract renewals are a critical part of most service-based businesses. After all, you don\u2019t want your clients to end their relationships with you after a single term. Follow the tips above to determine whether you need to renew or extend your contracts and to ensure that when the time comes, you\u2019re able to do so successfully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"87959\" class=\"elementor elementor-87959\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af8975c e-con-full cta_click e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"af8975c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d21be99 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d21be99\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbc2a58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bbc2a58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"435\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/cta-contracts-banner-merino.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-87972\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/cta-contracts-banner-merino.png 435w, https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/cta-contracts-banner-merino-285x300.png 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a747e99 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a747e99\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d55b379 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d55b379\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Protect your business<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11c3044 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"11c3044\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use HoneyBook\u2019s ironclad contract templates to protect your business and clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-771d280 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"771d280\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/signup\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get started<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contract renewals are critical when you operate a service-centric business.
