Client Onboarding Questionnaire and Welcome Pack

About this document

What it’s for

A smooth start sets the tone for the whole relationship. Collecting the right information up front avoids delays, and a welcome pack explains how you work – hours, communication, feedback and invoicing – so clients know what to expect and respect your boundaries.

When to use it

  • After a client accepts your proposal and before work starts
  • When a new contact takes over at an existing client
  • When restarting work after a long break

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Send the questionnaire with your contract and deposit invoice
  • Personalise the welcome letter
  • Work through the onboarding checklist and keep it with the client file

Key points to check

  • Ask for access to client systems using individual log-ins, never shared passwords
  • Confirm the client’s invoicing process (purchase orders, supplier set-up) before you invoice

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
