Client onboarding checklist
Client onboarding checklist (collect everything you need in one place)
Onboarding new clients gets messy when information, documents, and next steps are requested across separate emails. A clear client onboarding checklist helps you collect everything in one structured request.
What to request from new clients
Basic information
- Primary contact name and role
- Company name and address
- Preferred contact details
Legal / identity
- Signed agreement or engagement letter
- ID or verification documents if required
- Company registration or legal entity details
Financial / billing
- Billing contact and email
- Purchase order or invoicing requirements
- Tax or VAT details if needed
Project / service details
- Scope, goals, or service requirements
- Key deadlines or launch dates
- Relevant files, assets, or prior documents
Why this matters
Incomplete onboarding slows work down from the start. When important details are missed early, it creates confusion, repeated follow-up, and avoidable delays later.
How to use this checklist
You can paste this client onboarding checklist into an email, but that usually leads to scattered replies and missing attachments. A structured request works better because everything stays tied to one checklist and one upload flow.
