Management service contracts are agreements between business owners and management companies that detail the terms under which the management company will operate the business. These contracts allow owners a hands-off approach while transferring daily operations to the management company. Key details in the contracts include the names of the parties, duration of the agreement, payment amounts and methods, and responsibilities of each side. While management companies can provide advantages like bonuses based on performance, disadvantages include the company's limited ability to handle all aspects of running the business and potential misalignment between the company's and owner's decisions.
