This is why I emphasize having a separate credit card. You need it. It helps you keep track of your business expenses so you know how much you are spending at any given time. Creating Rental ContractsJungle Jumps provide a rental contract to all our customers, you can use our rental contract follow instruction below to create your own.Any time you engage in business, you must have contracts between you and the client.

How would you protect yourself if you did not have a contract? You couldn’t. This is why a contract is so vital to have. When entering into a contract, you must have certain elements in place. There must be an agreement between parties as to the event, what will be done, when it will take place, and who is responsible for what. There must be something of value to exchange between parties. This could be cash, a product, or service. The contract should be in writing. Oral contracts are possible, but they are difficult to prove, so it is best to have a written contract. This way everything is spelled out exactly, leaving no guess work. When drafting a contract, just state the obvious. Put your contact info on the contract along with the client’s information. Put down the date of the event, the agreed to amount to be paid, the time of the event, and any rain dates to occur if necessary. Explain in writing what the party rental company will provide and give details. Next, explain what the client will provide and give details. Include what equipment will be needed and for how long. Make sure each piece of equipment is listed. You don’t want anything left out. Also, write down anything else that you deem necessary for the contract to be made legal, like the signature of both parties involved.
