What to get right on a photographer quotation
- Say what is excluded. Transport, materials the client supplies, extra revisions, work outside the stated scope. Most quotation disputes are about what was never listed.
- Put the deposit you need in the notes and make the delivery or completion time start from when it lands, not from the date of the quote.
- Give the quotation a validity date and a number. A client accepting an unnumbered, undated quote months later is a price you no longer want to honour.
- Include the event date and venue. Clients file the invoice by event, not by invoice number.
Questions people ask
- What should a photographer quotation include?
- Your business name, address, phone and CAC number; the client's name; a quotation number and date; a validity date; each item or stage of the work with quantity and price; whether VAT is charged; the deposit you need to start; what is excluded; and an acceptance line for the client to sign.
- How long should a photographer quotation stay valid?
- Fourteen days is the default on this template. Shorten it to seven if materials or fuel are a large part of the price. State it on the document so a client cannot accept last month's price.
- Should I add VAT to a photographer quotation?
- Only if your turnover is above the small-company threshold of ₦50 million a year and you are VAT registered. Below that, leave VAT off and the quotation says no VAT is charged, which is what most sole traders and small firms should do.
- What happens after the client accepts?
- Ask for the deposit if you need one, do the work, then open the invoice generator with the same lines and issue the invoice showing the deposit received and the balance due.
- Do photographers charge VAT?
- Above the ₦50 million threshold, yes at 7.5%. Most independent photographers are below it.
