Hi all,
So a previous client has contacted me recently and asked me to do a bit of one-off work for them. They want me to develop a bit of e-learning for them, and we've agreed a price. I am starting to feel like a proper contractor, however, I feel I could use some advice/pointers from some of the more experienced members, who've done this before. I've only been contracting for 18 months, and this is my first bit of direct work, and I'm charging for a bit of work, rather than a daily rate.
Excuse the nooby-esque questions (esp #2), but I hope someone can help:
1. I should put together a short contract, shouldn't I? Is there a template for such a thing? I'm not a PCG member, but I should be and would happily sign up if there was one on there.
2. The client has asked "Can you send me an official quote from Yourco Ltd on letter headed paper which has a line item for this charge, after I receive this I will generate a PO to you, after which you can send an invoice to our account payable department via me to be paid by cheque". I don't really know what he means by "a line item for this charge". Is that some particular format I should adhere to? Again, any templates would be useful.
Any other advice/pointers someone can offer me? Much appreciated for any and all help!!
