What you get in the PDF

Whatever you fill in on the quote. Blank fields are left off.

  • Your details and the customer’s
  • The job, written out, with line items
  • Qty, unit, price and amount for each line
  • Call-out, materials and parking, if you add them
  • Subtotal, VAT and the total in pounds
  • Deposit due, if you take one

What this is not

  • Not accounting software

    It does not keep books, invoices after the job, or your VAT records.

  • Not Making Tax Digital

    HMRC does not see this. Nothing is filed from this phone.

  • Not a contract

    It is a quote. It does not bind you or the customer until you both agree.

Same job. One states the money.

The electrician example from the gallery. Left is the sort of paragraph that lands in WhatsApp. Right is the text Ratecard copies.
