Tips in Making a Professional Invoice

Every business knows the basics in creating an invoice: client information, pricing, total and taxes. But how do we create a blank invoice?

Here are a few guidelines in making a professional invoice:

• We all want to get paid and we want it on time. Creating policies regarding your payment and reflecting it to your invoice helps create a tone of professionalism. Indicating payment modes, down-payments, deadlines for payments and penalties for non payments helps you do just that.
• Uphold your policies and clearly indicate them in your invoices.
• Be consistent in your pricing and transparent with all the fees involved which includes service charges and penalties.

It is particularly used by customs in relation to importation purposes.
