General business proposal

Templates › Proposals & Quotes

A business proposal template is a structured document a business sends a prospective client to win a piece of work — laying out the problem, the plan, the timeline, and the price in one place before anything is signed.

When to use it

Use a general business proposal whenever you're pitching a defined piece of work to a client and need something more formal than an email — freelance and agency engagements, consulting projects, one-off services, or any deal where the other side needs to see scope and price together before saying yes.

What's typically included

• Overview of the engagement
• Scope of work
• Timeline and milestones
• Investment (pricing and payment schedule)
• Terms (validity period, termination)
• Governing law
• Signature blocks for both parties

This template is a general starting point, not legal advice — customize it and have it reviewed for your situation.
