Every business has to give its customers prices for its products or services. There are several ways you can do this.
Most businesses will need to draw up a price list at some stage. If you sell a fixed range of products, this may be the only form of pricing you need. This type of standard price list can also be used as the basis for pricing your non-standard orders.

Quotation – What is a quotation?
A quotation is a document that a seller provides to a buyer to offer goods or services at a stated price, under specified conditions. Also known as quotes, sales quotes, or sales quotations, quotations are used to let a potential buyer know
how much goods or services will cost before they commit to the purchase.
What to include your quotation?
- The price: your quotation should include the total amount due for the client’s order, as well as the price of individual products or services. You might also want to consider breaking down how you reached the final price by including the cost of labour, materials, and (if applicable) VAT.
- An expiration date: each quotation you send should indicate how long the quotation will remain valid. This lets your customers know how long they have to accept or decline the quote.
- Your company details: a quotation template should include the full contact details of your business, including your business name, address, email address, phone number, and (if applicable) VAT registration number or business registration number.
- Your customer’s details: their name, phone number, email address, etc.

You should make clear whether any delivery, installation or transport costs are included in your prices. Additionally, you can give discounts for your customers.
