How long should a business quote be valid?
In South Africa, business quotes are typically valid for 7 to 30 days, depending on your industry and the volatility of your costs. For construction and services, 30 days is common. For goods with fluctuating prices, 7-14 days may be more appropriate. Our quote generator lets you set custom expiry dates with quick-set buttons for common validity periods.

What is the difference between a quote and an invoice?
A quote (or quotation) is an estimate of costs provided before work begins — it's a proposal, not a request for payment. An invoice is a formal request for payment issued after goods or services have been delivered. Quotes have expiry dates while invoices have due dates. In South Africa, both should include VAT if you are a registered VAT vendor.
