Hello!
Thanks for having this board. I'm just staring out, waiting for my license, and my bonding & insurance to get processed. I've got my flyers going, my business cards and my cleaning check list. I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction to view a proposal form. I've been searching online all night trying to find a place to buy them, but have been unsuccessful.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alicia

Thanks! Actually, I will just be residential for now, now commercial. I'm starting slow and hoping to grow.

Actually, I wasn't thinking of a contract. I was just thinking about when you go out to a clients home to give a proposal. After a walk through, would I leave something with them telling them what I would do and how much it would cost if they were to choose me? I'm not looking for something to lock them in, only to give information. Is there something out there like that?
Thanks again!
Alicia

we bought quickbooks pro off ebay (cheap, only $107.00 total inc. shipping) and use the estimate form for proposals, and the specifics are hand written as notes... kinda verbal. i really like your Service Agreement IJCSA! we have been having trouble with a couple accounts, comm. & res., adding services via note left & getting upset when we don't do. think i will put your service agreement into action! oh, welcome 2 the biz amomom!

Contracts are only as good as the people that sign them. If someone is afraid to sign a contract outlining what was agreed to, there may be a deeper reason . Sometimes it is worth the price of a lawyer to read over your contracts to ensure all parties are protected.

I think what you are looking for is an Estimate form? You could probably make one easy using your word processor. MS Works is great for making documents.... can even insert logo or logo as a watermark in the background! Looks real professional too.... Good luck!

Natalie,

Sorry it has taken so long to reply to the watermark question. I have a 2 month old computer and this feature came in the pre-installed works software. OK, open Works then click Works Word Processor Create Documents, a blank document will open, on the upper toolbar click Insert and choose Watermark from the drop-down menu, make your choices of picture, position and fade, and there you have it! Type your document over, print and make copies! Viola'!

we use quickbooks online edition. it is 20 dollars a month and you can write invoices, proposals and other things of that nature. it was a great investment!
