TradeInvoice
TradeInvoice is a simple invoicing platform that helps UK tradespeople create and manage quotes and invoices online. Quote on site. Invoice in seconds.
Built for electricians, plumbers, builders, fitters, freelancers and small business. No paperwork. UK VAT sorted. Works on your phone.
What is TradeInvoice?
TradeInvoice is online software for UK tradespeople who need to send quotes and invoices without wrestling with spreadsheets or generic accounting tools. You create a customer once, build quotes with line items for labour, materials and parts, and the app calculates subtotals and 20% VAT in line with standard UK practice. When a job is agreed, you convert the quote to an invoice in one step and export a professional PDF to email or message to your client.
The service is built for sole traders and small teams: electricians, plumbers, carpenters, kitchen fitters, landscapers, handymen and freelancers who invoice in pounds. You can use it on a phone on site or on a laptop in the office. Pricing is shown clearly on our pricing page: we offer a 7-day free trial so you can try the full workflow before you pay. After the trial you choose a monthly or yearly plan. There is no long-term contract; you can cancel according to our terms.
TradeInvoice is not a replacement for your accountant for tax filings, but it helps you look professional, stay organised and get paid faster with clear documents your customers understand. If you need help, you can reach us via the contact page on this website.
