Zero Sum Invloces

7th option. Go to the pub.

[Old Greg]

6th option. Raise invoice for 5k + VAT and see what happens.

5th option - don't bother with any of the above because no one knows what an Invloce is.

[Craig@Clarity]

3rd option. Raise invoice and credit note at the same time.

4th option : Raise an invoice with Free of Charge and £0.00.

I have a very small Plan B that is starting to get a bit of traction, the first "customer" I am not charging as a loss leader as they are brining me more people and I guess I have two options:

1. Don't invoice at all
2. Invoice with 100% discount

Any reason to choose one over the other, I use FreeAgent so admin wise it's zero extra effort to raise an invoice with zero balance?

3rd option. Raise invoice and credit note at the same time.

I'd do the same as well. I'd personally like to see it there as some form of paper trail in case it's needed in the future.

I'd use the 100% discount. Sets the tone that what you are providing has value.

I think it is just a matter of personal preference, I can't see that it would matter as far as accounting.
