hiring agreement pack

Price £25 (inclusive of VAT).
A client's review our Consultancy Helpine Service:
"The issues we encounter as a Christian Church operating as a Charity arise in a variety of areas such as financial, legal, insurance, employment etc.
Ordinarily we would have had to seek that advice from a number of sources whereas the Consultancy Helpline provides one port of call. This saves both time and money whilst giving a great sense of security in knowing that at the end of the phone or an email is a ready and reliable source of quality advice and information.
The advice we have received has been particularly helpful because whilst it addresses the technical issues it does so with an understanding of the particular situations a Christian Church faces".
