Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?

A quote is a fixed price you commit to for defined work; an estimate is an approximate figure that may change as the job is clarified. Label which one you are sending so expectations are clear.

How long should a quote be valid?

A common validity period is 14 to 30 days. State it on the document so the client knows when the price may need revisiting.

Is a quotation legally binding?

Once a client accepts a fixed quote, it generally forms the basis of the agreed price. Estimates are not binding figures. Keep your terms clear to avoid disputes.

How do I turn a quote into an invoice?

Reuse the same line items, change the title to "Invoice", add an invoice number and date, and set your payment terms.
