Frequently asked questions
Do I need a company to send an invoice?
No. A self-employed person can invoice in their own name. Include your address and, where required, your tax number.
What do I put as the business name?
Your own full name, or 'Your Name trading as Your Business' if you use a trading name.
Can I add my logo and tax to this self-employed invoice?
Yes. Upload a logo, set a tax rate and a discount if you need them, and the totals update as you type. The PDF matches the preview.
