Digital signature for sponsor agreements
Print, sign, scan, email it back – and wait. Digital signature gets the agreement done the same day, and afterwards it's stored in the right place. Here's how it works.
Sound familiar?
- The agreement is sent as a Word file, and the versions get mixed up
- The sponsor has to print, sign and scan – and it takes three weeks
- No one knows who still needs to sign
- The signed agreement sits in one person's inbox
How it works
-
Build the agreement
Choose products and price, adjust the package, and add what you agreed verbally.
-
Send for signature
The sponsor gets a personal link by email – no PDF, no login.
-
The sponsor signs on their phone
It takes a minute. If no reply comes, send a reminder with one click.
-
The agreement is approved
Invoices are created, deliverables are set up, tickets are reserved – and the sealed PDF is stored on the sponsor.
How Sportmanager helps
Sponsor agreements are signed directly from the agreement itself. Everything else the club signs – partnership agreements, volunteer declarations, rental agreements – is sent as a PDF from Documents to internal and external signers. The finished document is sealed with a certificate and a log.
- Signing without a login – on a phone
- Status, reminders and resend
- Sealed PDF with a log of who signed when
- Templates for what you send often
Questions
Is a digital signature valid?
Yes. An agreement made with a digital signature is binding in the same way as a signature on paper. The finished document is sealed with a certificate and a log of who signed when.
Can documents other than sponsor agreements be signed?
Yes. From Documents, any PDF can be sent for signature – partnership agreements, volunteer declarations, rental agreements, consent forms.
Can we see the status of agreements we've sent?
Yes. The agreement stays in the pipeline until it's signed, and you can send a reminder or resend the link.
