Paperwork every Marana shop should have

• Decide who owns the client book and the booking app account if a barber leaves.
• Write the insurance each chair renter must carry, with limits and the shop as additional insured, into the rental agreement.
• Have a policy for redoing cuts so a complaint has somewhere to go besides a claim.
• Require renters to keep their barber license current and displayed.

None of this replaces insurance, but it keeps small problems small. Insurers may ask whether you use written rental agreements and keep sanitation logs.
