What Is a General Business Quote?

A general business quote is a written offer for a straightforward sale, service, or project. It tells your customer what you will provide, what you plan to charge, and which terms apply before the sale or work begins.

Use a quote when the work and price are clear. Once your customer accepts it, the quoted price covers the work listed. If the work changes, update the quote and ask your customer to accept the revised version.

How to Use a Business Quote Template

Start with the offer your customer needs to approve. Work from the top of the quote to the bottom. Check the customer, dates, scope, price, and terms before you send it.

• Your business name, contact details, and logo
• Your customer's name and contact details
• A unique quote number, issue date, and valid-until date when needed
• A clear description of the products, services, or project work

• Payment terms and other important conditions
• A clear way for your customer to accept the quote

Business Quote, Estimate, or Invoice?

Choose the document based on how certain the price is and whether payment is due.

Use a proposal when the customer needs more background before they review the price. Start with an estimate template when the cost may change. When payment is due, turn the accepted quote into an invoice.

  A quote gives a specific price for clearly defined work. An estimate gives your best prediction when the final scope or cost may still change.
