Many businesses provide services and products that don’t have an upfront price because the cost involved varies a great deal. If they need to make a contract with their client, few basic requirements need to be fulfilled: agreement, consideration, capacity, and legality.
Prior to agreement, businesses record the details of negotiations by using quotations/estimates. Quotations are non-binding and part of the negotiation process. They are recommended to be transparent about the product/service and pricing, since they constitute the very first documents to be shared with customers.
Quotes showcase your approach to business and declare all terms for providing your goods and services. There are several businesses that send out quotations as an initial step for building profitable relationship with prospective customers, and to let them know of what kind of offers/packages they have to provide. Few of them are enlisted below:
