What every professional quote needs

  • ✓Your business details. Name, phone, address, and VAT number if you're registered.
  • ✓Customer details. Who the quote is for — name and contact.
  • ✓A quote number & date. So you and the customer can reference it later.
  • ✓Itemised line items. Each item or task, quantity, and price — no vague lump sums.
  • ✓Subtotal, VAT & total. Show VAT (15%) separately if you're registered; state clearly if you're not.
  • ✓How long it's valid. "Valid for 14 days" protects you against rising material costs.
  • ✓Banking / payment details. So an approved job can be paid without a second email.

Common questions

›Do I have to charge VAT on my quote?

Only if you're registered for VAT with SARS. If you are, show VAT (15%) as a separate line and include your VAT number. If you're not registered, don't add VAT — and it's good practice to note that you're not VAT registered.

›How long should a quote be valid?

14 days is standard for most trades — long enough for the customer to decide, short enough to protect you if material prices change. State the validity period clearly on the quote.

›What's the difference between a quote and an invoice?

A quote is an offer of a price before the work — the customer approves it. An invoice is the request for payment after (or as) the work is done. The template below is for quotes; the same structure works for invoices with a due date instead of a validity period.

›Can I download the template in Word or Excel?

Yes — both are free above, no sign-up needed. The Word (.docx) version is best for editing and printing; the Excel (.xlsx) version automatically adds up your line items, VAT and total as you type. You can also print either straight to PDF.
