Freelancer Business Kit

The paperwork side of freelancing, done once: from the first proposal to the final invoice and the testimonial after it. Six templates and two browser tools.

Freelancer Business Kit: what's inside

What's included

Proposal — a two-page structure with three-option pricing, plus a fully worked example. Services agreement — twelve plain-English clauses covering scope changes, revisions, late payment, ownership and ending early. Statement of work — deliverables, acceptance criteria, schedule and fees. Client onboarding — a questionnaire to send on signing, your week-one checklist and a kick-off summary email. 15 email scripts — proposal follow-ups, “can you do it cheaper?”, scope creep, missed deadlines, three stages of payment reminder, testimonials, referrals, raising rates and ending a client. Project close-out — final-week checklist, handover and 30-day check-in emails.

Two tools that run in your browser: an invoice you edit in place, with automatic totals and tax, that remembers your details and prints to a clean PDF; and a rate calculator that works out the hourly and day rate you need from the income you want, counting costs, tax and unbillable time.

How it works

The templates are plain Markdown — paste into Google Docs, Word, Notion or straight into an email. Replace the [brackets], delete the guidance notes, send. The tools are single HTML files: open them in any browser, nothing to install, nothing uploaded.

The contract is a sensible starting point, not legal advice — for large projects, have a local lawyer review it.

License

Use for your own freelance business and client work, and edit as much as you like. Reselling or redistributing the templates themselves isn't permitted. Includes free lifetime updates.

Is it right for you?

Great if you're

  • New freelancers who want to look professional from the first client
  • Experienced freelancers tired of rewriting proposals and chasing invoices
  • Virtual assistants, designers, developers and writers billing clients directly

Not the right fit if

  • You need a contract reviewed for your country: the agreement is a starting point, not legal advice
  • You want accounting software with bank feeds and tax returns

Questions buyers ask

Is the contract legally binding?

A signed agreement is generally enforceable, but laws differ by country and this hasn't been reviewed for yours. It covers the clauses most disputes come down to; for large projects, have a local lawyer check it.

Does the invoice tool work in my currency?

Yes. Choose from ten currencies, including USD, EUR, GBP and AED, and set your own tax rate and name.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. The invoice remembers your details in your own browser only; nothing is uploaded.

Can I see the email scripts first?

Yes, three of the fifteen are in the free preview.
