What is a Business Quotation?

● Definition

A business quotation (also called a price quote or sales quote) is a formal document sent by a seller to a potential buyer that specifies the price, quantity, description, and conditions for delivering specific goods or services. It is a pre-sales document that is not legally binding until the buyer formally accepts it — at which point it may form the basis of a purchase order or contract.

Why Use a Professional Quotation Template?

A professional business quotation builds buyer confidence and significantly increases the likelihood of winning a deal. According to sales research, businesses that send a professional, detailed quotation are 40% more likely to close a deal than those that provide informal price estimates by phone or email. A well-structured quote communicates professionalism, transparency, and credibility.

Our free quotation generator at ThinkForU helps businesses of every size — from freelancers to large exporters — create quotations that look like they were made by an accountant or professional designer, without any paid software or technical skill.

Frequently Asked Questions About Quotations

Answers to the most common questions about business quotations, how to create them, and how this free tool works.

A business quotation is a formal document that a seller sends to a potential buyer specifying the price, quantity, and conditions for delivering goods or services. It is a pre-sales document — not a payment demand — that becomes binding only when the buyer formally accepts it. A quotation may also be called a "price quote," "sales quote," or "estimate."
A quotation is sent before work begins — it is an offer of price for the buyer to accept or reject. An invoice is sent after work is complete — it is a formal payment request. A quotation is not legally binding until accepted; an invoice creates a legal payment obligation. The quotation typically becomes the basis for the final invoice once the deal is confirmed.

To create a GST quotation: (1) Select INR as the currency. (2) In Tax Settings, click "Add Tax" and add CGST at 9% and SGST at 9% for intra-state, or IGST at 18% for inter-state transactions. (3) Add your products or services with HSN/SAC codes. (4) The tool automatically calculates all GST amounts. (5) Download your GST-compliant quotation as a PDF.
A complete business quotation should include: your company name and contact details, client's name and address, quotation number and date, validity period, itemised list of goods/services with descriptions, HSN/SAC codes (for India), quantities, unit prices, applicable taxes (CGST/SGST/VAT), discount if any, total amount in the correct currency, payment terms, delivery timeline, and terms and conditions.

Most business quotations are valid for 7 to 30 days, depending on the industry and the volatility of input costs. Use the "Valid Until" field to set your validity date. Service businesses typically offer 30-day validity; product exporters with fluctuating raw material costs may offer only 7-15 days. Always state the validity period clearly so buyers know when to act.

Use a consistent, sequential numbering system. The ThinkForU generator pre-fills QT-0001 and lets you customise it. A unique quotation number helps you and your client reference the correct document in future communications.
