Your invoice should be the least of your concerns, registering your trade name, opening up accounts, registering with the State/County you are working in should be a priority, Liability insurance, Workmans comp, that is the hard part. Invoices can be generic, there are a million templates, many can be customized.

Do the things that matter before you worry about how to bill people, and if you have done all of these things, goto Staples and buy a business software package, or any other company that specializes in custom (inexpensive) business forms. I use software that is great for printing out forms, but it is outdated, I just like how it works for me, and I can't get the same format in Excel or Word.

Small business classes!!!

This is where most fail. They can do all the craftsmanship to perfection, but have no idea what it really takes to run a profitable business, thus the business fails.

Yes I agree with you. Plus, hire a book keeper that can be trusted. They can also give you good advices on starting up.

It's a hassle, but write the clients name on every single receipt. So many receipts get lost in the shuffle. Good luck.
