Invoice template by industry

Depending on what business you are in, you might be looking for something that would be more customized to your industry. It makes sense to customize using different styles – for example, if you create an invoice for a legal firm, you would go with more conservative colors on professionally designed templates (the combination of grey and black). However, keep in mind that the invoice requirements are the same for every business industry, no matter if you are a painter or a business consultant – so feel free to choose any template you like and customize it to your needs.

The most popular types of invoices

There only several invoice types that most businesses would use to send to their customers:



1) Standard Invoice

Standard invoices contain the basic information needed to record and pay an invoice such as seller and customer details, goods or services delivered, invoice number, the date when the invoice is issued.

2) Proforma invoice

This invoice type is similar to an estimation or a quote. With proforma invoices, payment is not required, it's just some kind of an invoice draft that serves as a starting point for negotiation with a customer or an approval of business terms.

3) Commercial invoice

Commercial invoices are quite similar to a standard business invoice. However, they are used for a specific purpose – transporting goods internationally and clearing customs. Among specific information, you can find the reason for crossing the border, country of origin, the Harmonized System Codes, and more.

4) Recurring invoice

Recurring business invoices contain the same products and prices – it's sent to the same client every month or in the repeating period of time – for example, every 2 weeks.

How do I create a simple invoice?

While some businesses still prefer sending invoices by snail mail, it is much more convenient to send invoices to clients by emails. If you decide to use a simple invoicing software, you can send an invoice to a pre-recorded client email straight from the dashboard of your invoicing tool. The good thing about using an invoicing tool for sending digital invoices is that you can easily schedule an automatic reminder 1, 2,3,5,10 days after your customer has passed a payment deadlines.

How to send an invoice?

Here are a few important elements every professional invoice should contain:

1. Include the name of the document "Invoice"

2. Use consistent numbering – come up with your own structure such as INV/1/10/21

3. Add a date when invoice is issued

4. List out your line items – products and services (don't forget to add quantity unit – lb., pc, unit, kg, days, months etc.)

5. Add unit net price

6. Add due date for an invoice to be paid

7. Add VAT tax rate if it applies (for example, for the EU countries)

8. Mention payment type (Credit card, cash, PayPal, check). Consider adding fast payments if you want to get paid faster.

9. Purchase order (PO) number – if applicable

10. Customization options such as logo or signature
