Understanding this is a Wastewater forum, let me please refer to a Water Distribution matter, I am in the process of becoming a Water Distribution Operation Consultant, but I don't have the slightest idea of how a proper contract should be presented in order to clarify all the expectations from  my services, the implications and the liabilities.

By any chance, does anybody is already in such business that could iluminate a little bit my path. Your help is greatly appreciated.

"Respect yourself, respect others, then be a teacher"

The single most important part of becoming a consultant is understanding yourself and getting your clients to understand what it is that you will do for them. You can be the best at what you do but if you can't get the relationship between you and your clientele right then your going no where.

Seems to me that you may have a bit of research and learning ahead of you. You probably need to get some proffessional advice from attorneys , accountants and business management advisers.
