What should a professional quote include?
A professional quote should include your business name and contact details, the customer's details, a clear description of the work, an itemised price (labour and materials), VAT if you're registered, the total, payment terms and any deposit, how long the quote is valid, and a likely start or lead time. InstaQuote puts all of this on a branded quote automatically.
A vague quote loses jobs and causes arguments later. The customer wants to see exactly what they're getting, what it costs, and what happens next — and a clear, branded quote signals you're a professional before you've even started.
The essentials: who you are, who it's for, a plain description of the work, an itemised breakdown so the price doesn't look plucked from the air, VAT shown correctly if you're registered, the total, your deposit and payment terms, a validity date so old prices don't haunt you, and a rough start time.
InstaQuote builds all of that for you from a photo or voice note: itemised pricing from your own rates, VAT and CIS handled, your logo and details on it, and a deposit and accept-and-pay button built in — so every quote you send looks the part without the effort.
