Free invoice generator.
Make it. Move on.
Create an invoice online for any UK sole trader, freelancer, trade or service business in one focused screen. Preview every change live, then download a print-ready PDF invoice. No sign-up, no card, nothing stored.
Three short steps to a finished invoice.
The generator runs entirely in your browser. There is no sign-up or registration step before you can download a document, and nothing you type is stored on our side once you close the page.
- 01
Add your company and your client
Enter your business name, email and address, then the client you are billing. Both blocks print at the head of the finished document, so the invoice arrives looking like yours rather than a template.
- 02
Describe the work and the amount
Write the service description, the amount in pounds, the issue date and the due date. The preview beside the form updates as you type, so you can see the finished document before you commit to it.
- 03
Save the PDF and send it
Check the preview, then download. The file is A4 and print ready, carrying your own details and no watermark, so it can go straight to a client or an accounts inbox.
A free invoice template that fills itself in.
Most free invoice templates are a Word, Excel or PDF file you download and then fight with. This does the same job without the download, and without a sign-up or registration step in front of it.
A downloaded invoice template
Open the file, overwrite the placeholder text, fix the table when a long description breaks the layout, remember to change the invoice number, then export a PDF yourself. Repeat every time, and hope last month's client name is not still sitting in a cell.
This free invoice generator
Type into the form and watch the document build beside you. Nothing to install, nothing to format, no watermark, and the PDF invoice you download is the document your client receives.
It is built for whoever needs a document today: sole traders and self-employed contractors invoicing a first client, freelancers billing a one-off project, subcontractors invoicing a main contractor, and small limited companies that have not moved to accounting software yet.
Because the description and amount are free text, the same document covers a plumbing callout, a design retainer, a landscaping job or a monthly cleaning contract without hunting for a different template each time.
If you would rather start from a written spec, the free invoice templates set out what each kind of invoice has to show, including the VAT invoice fields HMRC requires and the lighter list for a self-employed invoice.
A document your client can pay without asking questions.
The generator lays out the details GOV.UK guidance expects a UK invoice to carry, so nothing obvious is missing when the document lands in an accounts inbox. A missing invoice number or an unclear due date is one of the most common reasons a straightforward payment stalls for a fortnight.
- The word invoice and a unique invoice number
- Your business name, address and contact details
- The client name and address
- A clear description of the work carried out
- The supply date and the invoice date
- The amount charged, any VAT and the total owed
- A stated due date rather than a vague payment window
If you are checking your own template, trading through a limited company, or registered for VAT and unsure which extra fields apply, the guide to what to include on an invoice in the UK sets out the full requirements in order, including simplified VAT invoices and record keeping. If you bill under your own name, the guide to invoicing as a sole trader in the UK covers naming, numbering and the point at which VAT registration changes the document.
A priced offer is a different document again, and the difference between a quote and an invoice explains which one to send and when. For the whole process end to end, read the complete guide to invoicing for UK service businesses.
Once the document is correct, the next problem is collection. Our advice on getting clients to pay invoices on time and the practical steps for dealing with late payment cover terms, follow-up timing and recording what has arrived.
Guides for the way your trade actually bills.
An invoice for a one-off callout is not the same document as a monthly contract claim or a staged project payment. These guides cover the billing pattern behind each trade, including recurring sites, progress claims and approved variations.
Plumber invoices
Emergency callouts, boiler work, parts and annual servicing contracts.
Electrician invoices
Job detail, certification and invoicing approved scope changes.
Cleaning invoices
Recurring site billing for commercial cleaning contracts.
Window cleaning invoices
High-volume repeat rounds, plus the extras that sit outside them.
Roofing invoices
Staged claims, approved variations and a clear final balance.
Landscaping invoices
Seasonal jobs alongside repeat grounds maintenance rounds.
Facilities maintenance invoices
Planned and reactive work billed across many client sites.
Agency invoices
Monthly retainers, repeat projects and predictable billing runs.

Invoice generator questions.
What the free tool does, what it deliberately does not do, and where an account starts to make sense instead.
Is this invoice generator really free?
Yes. There is no account, no card and no usage limit. Create and download as many invoices as you need, and nothing is charged at any point.
Do I need to sign up or register?
No. There is no sign-up, no registration and no email address required. The generator runs in your browser, nothing you type is saved to a Suitekore account, and you can close the page without leaving a record behind.
Can I download the invoice as a PDF?
Yes. The finished document downloads as an A4 PDF invoice laid out for print, carrying your own business name, address and contact details rather than a watermark or third-party branding.
Is this an invoice template or an invoice generator?
It is a generator. A free invoice template is a Word, Excel or PDF file you download and then edit by hand. This builds the document as you type and hands you a finished PDF, so there is nothing to download first, nothing to reformat and nothing to install.
Can a sole trader or self-employed contractor use it?
Yes. It suits sole traders, self-employed contractors, freelancers and subcontractors invoicing without accounting software, as well as small limited companies. Show your own name alongside any trading name, and an address where documents can be sent.
Does the invoice meet HMRC requirements?
It lays out the details GOV.UK guidance expects on an invoice: an invoice number, your business and client details, a description of the work, the supply and invoice dates, and the total owed. If you are registered for VAT you also need line-level VAT and a strictly sequential numbering series, which the free generator does not manage for you. Check the current GOV.UK guidance or ask your accountant if you are unsure.
Can I add VAT to the invoice?
The generator produces a straightforward single-charge invoice with a total. If you are registered for VAT and need line-level VAT, sequential numbering and stored client records, that is what the full Suitekore Invoices product is built for.
Can I use it for any trade or service business?
Yes. The description and amount are free text, so the same document works for a plumbing callout, a monthly cleaning contract, a landscaping job or an agency retainer.
How do I keep track of which invoices have been paid?
The generator creates a document, it does not track payment. For saved clients, recurring schedules, reminders and paid or unpaid statuses across every invoice, you need an account rather than a one-off tool.
Stop rebuilding the same invoice.
Let Suitekore remember it.
Save clients, sites or jobs, and recurring charges once. Generate invoices, email PDFs, send reminders, and track payment in one workflow built for service businesses.
