Free invoice templates

An invoice is a document given to a buyer by a seller to ask for a payment. A good invoice outlines all details, including who it is between, the products and/or services it is for and how your customer can make payment. An invoice is the document that starts the payment process. They are also called a proforma invoice when you send them to clients before the work has been completed.

Your customers read invoices to understand how much they need and how to pay you. 

An invoice is the last piece of contact and communication that you have with your customer. This means it is the last piece of communication between you and your client before they pay you. If your invoice isn’t clear, it can stand in the way of you and your money which as a small business owner, you can’t risk. You want to format invoices professionally to boost your business credibility.
