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. 

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.  

What to include on your invoice depends on the industry your business is in. Our standard invoice templates list necessary invoice details that include the following:

• Your contact and business details
• The customer’s contact and business details
• A unique identifying invoice number
• Date of issue and payment due date
• A list of products and/or services provided with their associated costs
• Total costs and taxes
• Payment instructions
• Terms and conditions

An invoice is a key part of the payment process. 

There are several ways organize your list of products and/or services. For large jobs, you may want to group products and/or services based on date of delivery. You can also group similar products and/or services under invoice categories.
