FAQ

Consultancy Agreement — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about consulting contracts, scope, fees, confidentiality, Aadhaar eSign, remote signing, and downloads.

A Consultancy Agreement (also called a consulting agreement or professional services agreement) is a contract between a client and a consultant that defines scope of services, deliverables, fees, payment terms, confidentiality, intellectual property, and other terms governing the consulting engagement.
Any business or individual hiring a consultant — or any consultant engaging a client — should use a written consultancy agreement. It is especially important for IT, management, financial, HR, legal, and professional advisory engagements where scope and fees need clear documentation.
Both document service engagements, but a consultancy agreement typically covers broader advisory engagements, ongoing retainer relationships, and professional services with defined scope and governance. A freelancer agreement often focuses on project-based creative or technical deliverables. WeSignDeal offers both workflows — choose the one that matches your engagement structure.
Yes. Both clients and consultants can be companies. The workflow supports individual and company parties with appropriate identification and optional business document uploads.
Yes. Independent consultants and individual clients can create and execute consultancy agreements on WeSignDeal with the same digital workflow as larger businesses.
Yes. WeSignDeal lets you create a Consultancy Agreement online, add client and consultant details, define scope and fees, verify parties, and execute the contract using Aadhaar eSign.
The workflow supports multiple parties where the engagement requires additional signers. Each party can have independent verification and Aadhaar eSign steps through individual secure links.
You describe the consulting services, deliverables, milestones, and project boundaries in the agreement form. These details appear in the draft consultancy agreement PDF for review before signing.
The workflow captures fee structure, payment schedule, invoicing terms, and reimbursement rules. The generated PDF reflects the agreed commercial terms for both parties to review.
Yes. The consultancy agreement structure includes confidentiality provisions that you can review and customise in the additional terms where needed.
The agreement includes intellectual property clauses defining ownership of work product and background IP. Review the draft PDF to confirm the terms match your engagement before signing.
Document requirements are shown in the workflow and typically include live selfie and identity documents such as Aadhaar and PAN. Optional business proofs may include GST certificate or company registration for corporate parties.
Aadhaar eSign is a legally recognised electronic signing method in India where the signer authenticates using an OTP linked to their Aadhaar through a UIDAI-authorised eSign gateway. WeSignDeal integrates this for remote contract execution.
Before Aadhaar eSign, parties may complete identity verification steps including selfie and document upload. These steps link the final signed agreement to verified individuals.
Stamp duty requirements depend on state law, contract value, and document type. Where eStamp is enabled on WeSignDeal for applicable agreements, the platform can coordinate procurement and merging. Consult a CA or lawyer for your specific requirements.
You can edit while the agreement remains in draft or editable status. Changes after verification may require parties to re-confirm details to maintain document integrity.
Yes. The workflow is mobile-friendly. Parties can upload documents and complete Aadhaar eSign from a smartphone browser in most cases.
Yes. Once all required parties complete Aadhaar eSign, you can download the final Consultancy Agreement PDF from your account at any time and receive it by email.
Yes. Executed consultancy agreements and related verification records are stored in your WeSignDeal account for secure retrieval.
WeSignDeal applies platform security controls including encrypted storage, individual signing links, IP and device logging, optional GPS capture, and a complete activity audit trail.
Yes. Key workflow events trigger email notifications — such as when the agreement is ready for review or when a party completes signing.
The platform records verification uploads, signing timestamps, IP address, browser and device information, and GPS location when permission is granted.
A Word template provides static text only. WeSignDeal adds client and consultant management, scope and fee configuration, verification, Aadhaar eSign, notifications, audit logs, and a final signed PDF in one platform.
Confirm scope of services, deliverables, fees, payment schedule, confidentiality, IP ownership, termination terms, and all additional clauses in the draft PDF before eSign.
Yes. Startups commonly use consultancy agreements to onboard mentors, fractional executives, and specialist advisors with clear scope and fee terms.
Drafting can be completed in one session. Total time depends on how quickly each party uploads documents, passes verification, and completes Aadhaar eSign.
Create a WeSignDeal account, open the Consultancy Agreement workflow when available, add client and consultant details, define scope and fees, and follow the guided steps through verification and Aadhaar eSign.
