Invoice help!

Sarah Lacey
Actor

This is probably a fairly silly question, but I'm a bit stuck(/a newbie)!

I've just completed my first advert, and have been asked to invoice the company using a PO number. I've been trawling the internet looking for templates/advice but I'm still unsure what my invoice should look like!

Does anyone have any advice or information about how to invoice for an acting job (Or in an ideal world a link to a template?)

I'd be massively grateful for some help!
Ta,
Sarah

Address, emails address, phone number at the top. Date, Reference (PO Number is Purchase Order Number)to the left. I'd put the initials of the company, oblique, the number 1 (your first job for them this year), oblique then 15 (the year). Then centre the word "invoice" in capitals. Then the words "For working on (name of commercial) on (date of commercial). Follow that across and put the amount. Then go down about two inches, put your full name and then your bank details (for a BACS payment). Then finish it off with "Terms: Payment within 30 days" (always worth a try although don't expect to be paid within 30 days, unless you're very lucky!).
Hope that helps.

This is what I send out adapted for you. I've done a bit of work abroad so the Iban numbers are for international payment to my account and are not necessary for UK Payments.

Before anyone comments obviously all the numbers are fakes and yes I missed a zero off... that could be a terrible mistake! :-)
