A common issue when invoicing in Microsoft Word, Excel, or other DIY solutions is making calculation errors. Prompt invoicing’s invoicing software for businesses removes the worry of making these errors because calculations are done for you, including the taxes

Electronic invoices are created with online invoicing software or other cloud-based services, which makes it easy to automate the invoicing process. Electronic invoices also provide small business owners with professional-looking digital invoices that their customers can pay easily online through a system like Prompt invoicing’s web based solution.

‍On the other hand, paper-based invoicing is a manual process requiring extra time for things like invoice tracking and following up on overdue invoices, which can keep you away from the best parts of running your small business.

Manually creating invoices in Microsoft Word or Excel can be time-consuming and difficult to manage. Digital invoicing empowers your small business by automating invoice processing and saving time by tracking key invoice data like upcoming and outstanding invoices. You can also manage late payments more efficiently through e-invoicing by setting up payment reminders to send to your customers before an invoice due date.

Absolutely! Whether you’re a freelance writer, a freelance editor, a freelance front-end developer, or even a freelance balloon maker (no articles on that yet, sorry), you can use invoicing software to send professional looking invoices to your clients and get paid faster.

The rate that you charge for your freelancing services can vary, so it’s important to get a grasp of market trends before sending your clients an invoice or quoting a price. Freelance rates can differ depending on experience level and industry. For example, the rate a freelance web developer charges may be different than that of a freelance graphic designer, because each freelancer specializes in a different area.

Overall, the proposals you create in Prompt invoicing will look like perfectly branded proposals from your company. That’s a lot more than you can do in Microsoft Word.

Electronic signatures carry the same legal weight as traditional, paper-based ones, but this is dependent on your country of residence. In many jurisdictions, such as the United States, the European Union, and Australia, electronic signatures are recognized under laws like the ESIGN Act, eIDAS Regulation, and Electronic Transactions Act, respectively. These laws establish that electronic signatures are legally binding, provided they meet certain criteria for validity and security. However, the acceptance and legal weight of electronic signatures can vary significantly across different countries, and some may impose additional requirements or restrictions. Therefore, it is essential to understand the specific regulations governing electronic signatures in your country to ensure their enforceability in legal and business contexts.
