Upload it and our AI identifies category exclusivity carve-outs, activation deliverables, matching rights, and the fee adjustment that triggers on relegation, so you review what matters without reading every annex. ### Never let a business club renewal lapse Hundreds of business club memberships and supplier agreements renew across a season, most of them silently. Set reminders matched to each contract's notice period so your commercial team renegotiates on your schedule rather than discovering a lapse in August. ### One repository for everything the club sells and signs Sponsorship sits with the commercial director, supplier deals with operations, and the stadium lease with facilities. Store them all in one searchable platform so any agreement is a search away, whoever signed it. ## Save time and reduce risk Automate tedious tasks, eliminate missed deadlines, and gain full visibility into your contract portfolio. ### [See the whole sponsor portfolio at once](https://contracko.com/features/contract-repository) Store every sponsorship, business club, and partner agreement in one searchable repository.

You can tag each sponsorship agreement with its exclusive category and any carve-outs, then filter the full portfolio by category before signing a new partner. AI contract analysis extracts exclusivity language from uploaded agreements so the terms are searchable rather than buried in a schedule. - **Q:** Can Contracko handle sponsorship fees that change on relegation or promotion? **A:** Yes. Store the adjusted fee, the trigger condition, and the notice deadline as trackable fields on the agreement, and set reminders ahead of the point in the season when the outcome is decided. Every affected sponsor contract can be filtered in one view when a result changes what the club is owed. - **Q:** We have hundreds of business club members. Can Contracko manage that many agreements? **A:** Yes. Business club and hospitality agreements are usually short, similar, and renew annually, which is exactly the volume that overwhelms a spreadsheet. Store them in one repository, tag them by tier or renewal month, and set reminders so each renewal reaches the right account manager in time. - **Q:** Can Contracko track activation deliverables like LED minutes and hospitality seats? **A:** Yes. Record deliverables such as LED perimeter minutes, hospitality seats per fixture, player appearances, and social posts as obligations against each sponsorship agreement, with dates and owners, so the commercial team can evidence delivery at the point of renewal. ## Related industries Explore how Contracko helps similar industries streamline their contract workflows. ### [Sports Management](https://contracko.com/industries/sports-management) ### [Event Management](https://contracko.com/industries/event-management) ### [Gaming & Esports](https://contracko.com/industries/gaming-esports) ## Run the commercial side of your club without spreadsheets Football clubs use Contracko to track sponsorship exclusivity, business club renewals, and activation deliverables.
