An EICR one morning, a consumer unit the next, an EV charger on Friday, and first-fix work for a builder in between. Price the job as a quote, put the certificate number on the invoice, and tick CIS so the deduction and the reverse charge wording are worked out for you.
Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed.
A rewire, a board change, or a day of fault-finding, priced line by line and accepted online with no login. Turn on follow-ups and a quiet quote nudges itself. See how quotes work.
Cable and a charge point are paid for before you start, so ask for a materials deposit up front, or bill a rewire in stages on the £10/month plan. Both are for your own jobs: a CIS invoice nets the deduction off the total instead. See deposits and payment plans.
Put the certificate number and the board details on their own lines, so the paperwork and the charge arrive as one document. It goes out as a PDF with your logo on it, and photos of the board ride the same email as attachments.
Subcontracting to a builder? Switch CIS on, tick it on the invoice and enter the labour figure, and the deduction comes off the labour on a CIS invoice. Domestic job? Connect Stripe and the homeowner taps the link and pays by card in the hallway.
Most sparks bill three kinds of client in a week, and each one wants a different invoice.
An agent with forty flats needs the same EICR invoice on the same dates each year. Set a recurring invoice and Sendinvo raises and sends it for you.
On CIS work you enter the labour figure and the deduction comes off that, not the materials. If you are both VAT-registered, tick the domestic reverse charge and the invoice carries the wording and no VAT. The contractor pays the net and it settles in full.
A builder’s 90 days is your overdraft. Reminders escalate on their own, at 1, 7, and 14 days past due unless you change them. On an overdue sterling invoice Sendinvo works out the statutory interest you are owed, from the base rate you keep in settings, ready for you to turn into an invoice.
The real app, filled with a spark’s week: a monthly EICR round for a letting agent, a rewire billed in stages, an EV charger materials deposit, and an overdue landlord EICR being chased.
A live demo seeded with an electrical business. Nothing you do here is saved or sent.
The labour figure entered on the invoice, CIS at 20% taken off that alone, and the reverse charge ticked.
The builder accounts for the VAT. Pay the £2,640.00 net and the invoice settles in full.
Yes. Photos and short videos ride the invoice email as attachments, next to the PDF, so the old board, the new one, and the certificate arrive with the bill in one message.
Yes. Set your CIS rate once, 20%, 30%, or 0% for gross-payment status. On a sterling invoice, tick “Apply CIS deduction” and enter the labour figure, and the invoice shows the full total with the net amount your contractor pays.
Yes. Set a recurring invoice for a portfolio and Sendinvo raises it on your dates, monthly, quarterly, or yearly, and sends it without you opening the app.
Yes. Ask for a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, with its own due date, shown on the invoice alongside the balance. For a rewire, split the total into stages on the £10/month plan instead. An invoice takes one or the other, and neither sits on a CIS invoice.
Send your first 3 invoices free, tick CIS and the reverse charge where they apply, and let the chasing look after itself.
