Invoicing software for tradespeople in Liverpool

Built for how Liverpool trades actually work

Liverpool trades take on a mix of older housing stock and landlord portfolios, often invoicing the same client several times a month.

Telaro is a UK-first invoicing app: prices in pounds, VAT the way HMRC expects it, CIS deductions calculated for you, and documents that look like they came from an established firm rather than a phone note.

Common Liverpool jobs it suits

• Landlord repairs — quote it with itemised labour and materials, convert the accepted quote straight into an invoice without retyping a line.
• Damp and plastering — quote it with itemised labour and materials, convert the accepted quote straight into an invoice without retyping a line.
• Full house rewires — quote it with itemised labour and materials, convert the accepted quote straight into an invoice without retyping a line.

Getting paid on Liverpool jobs

For repeat landlord repairs, keep a clear record of each invoice and payment. An agreed statement of outstanding invoices can help the client reconcile several properties without replacing the original invoices.

Worth doing: Use consistent repair descriptions and include the property address on each document.

For terms and chasing, see invoice payment terms and how to get paid faster.

Questions Liverpool trades ask

Do I need to be VAT registered?

No. Telaro works whether you're VAT registered or not — turn VAT off and your documents simply won't show it. If you register later, switch it on and your rate carries across every new document. See the VAT invoice guide for what a VAT invoice needs to show.

Working under CIS?

If you're subcontracting in Liverpool for a contractor, the contractor works out the CIS deduction from the payment excluding VAT and allowable actual costs, such as eligible materials and plant hire paid for directly by the subcontractor. Telaro can show the gross, the deduction and the net payable clearly on the invoice. The CIS deductions guide walks through the maths, and GOV.UK sets out the contractor's rules.
