Updated

The short answer: a good proposal starts with what the client wants, then shows how you will get them there, what they receive, when, and what it costs. Keep it short enough to read in one sitting.

The template below lays that out in order. It is a template to adapt, not legal advice. It leads to a signed agreement, such as the service agreement template.

How to write a proposal clients read

  1. Start with their words. Repeat the goal they gave you, so they know you listened.
  2. Explain your approach simply. Say what you will do, not how long you have been in business.
  3. List what they get. Name the result, so nobody has to guess.
  4. Show the price clearly. Don't hide it at the end of a long document.
  5. End with one next step. Tell them how to say yes and by when.

A three-option layout

Choose the two or three options setting in the form to get a table. A common pattern is a basic version that does the job, a recommended version with the extras most clients want, and a premium version with the most service.

What comes next

When the client says yes, move to a service agreement or a statement of work. For fixed-scope trade work, a bid may fit better than a proposal. Check your price against your costs with the profit margin calculator.

Questions

What should a business proposal include?

The client and their goal, your approach, what they get, a timeline, the price, how long the offer is good for, and the next step.

How long should a proposal be?

As short as the job allows. One or two pages suit most service work. Larger projects need more detail, and that detail often fits better in a statement of work.

What is the difference between a proposal and a quote?

A quote gives a price for known work. A proposal also makes the case for your approach, so it suits clients who are still comparing options.

Should I offer one price or three options?

Options let the client compare your own prices with each other. One price is simpler when the client has asked for something specific. The template supports both.

Is a signed proposal a contract?

It can create obligations, depending on the wording and what happens next. This template says that both parties should sign an agreement covering liability, changes and cancellation before work starts.

Is this proposal template free?

Yes. Fill it in, preview it on the page, then download the PDF or print it. You do not need an account, and your draft is saved in this browser only.
