You finished a project, sent the invoice, but radio silence. Weeks go by, and instead of payment, you get questions and requests to change the invoice. What’s going on? Maybe a bad customer, but also maybe your invoices. Clear, professional invoices with essential details get you paid faster.
1
Include your business information, including the name, address, contact information
2
Similarly, you’ll want to include the name, address, and contact information of your client.
3
Each invoice must include a unique identification number, the date it was issued, and the due date.
4
You should include a list of all products or services provided, their amount, price per unit, total price per item, the total price, and any taxes your client needs to pay.
A clear, well-structured invoice is more than just a request for payment—it’s a reflection of your business. Confusing or incomplete invoices can lead to payment delays, extra back-and-forth, and frustrated clients.
Using Tofu's invoice templates for businesses helps you create professional, detailed invoices that leave a positive impression. Since invoices are often the last point of contact with a client, a well-designed invoice can reinforce your professionalism and even encourage repeat business or referrals.
