Invoice software for contractors
Quote from the truck, invoice from the job site, get paid before the next job starts. Built for tradespeople who don't have time for spreadsheets.
The problems you actually have
Paper invoices, lost paperwork
Carbon-copy books and crumpled receipts cost you days a year and lose you invoices entirely.
Quoting on-site
You're standing in the customer's kitchen with a quote in your head. By the time you're back at the desk, the deal's gone.
Materials + labour breakdown
Customers want to see what they're paying for. Lumping it into one line invites disputes.
VAT and tax compliance
VAT, reverse-charge, deposit invoices — easy to get wrong, painful to fix.
Quote on the truck, invoice from the job, paid before you leave
Lemon Invoice works on your phone. Send a quote to the customer's email while you're still on site, convert to invoice the moment you finish, and have payment instructions in their hands before you pack up the van.

Questions, answered
Can I use Lemon Invoice on my phone?+
Yes. The app is fully responsive — quoting and invoicing work from any modern phone browser.
How do I handle deposits?+
Issue a deposit invoice for the agreed upfront amount, then a final invoice for the balance. Both are tracked separately under the same customer.
Does it support VAT and reverse-charge?+
Yes. VAT rates are configurable per line item, and reverse-charge is supported for B2B work where the customer accounts for VAT.
Can customers pay by card?+
Currently customers pay by bank transfer using the details on the invoice. Card payment via Stripe is on the roadmap.
