Frequently asked questions

Can I edit the documents?

Yes. Every document is an editable Microsoft Word or Excel file. Add your company name and logo in the header and fill in the placeholders such as [Company Name], [Date] and [Document No.].

How do I receive the files?

Straight after payment you get a download link on screen and by email. The documents come in a zip file, organised in numbered folders.

Is this enough to be compliant?

Templates give you the structure and wording, but every file must be adapted to your own work, signed and kept up to date. If you would like help, we can review or compile the file for you.
