Contractor Business Starter Kit

You started a contracting business to do the work—not to lose hours rebuilding paperwork for every job.

The Contractor Business Starter Kit gives independent contractors and small trade businesses four practical Excel systems they can reuse across their own projects:

CONTRACTOR PROJECT PROPOSAL

Organize company and client details, scope, line items, terms, and signatures in a professional client-ready workbook.

JOB COST ESTIMATOR

Compare estimated and actual labor, materials, subcontractors, and overhead. Review job costs and gross margin from one dashboard.

CONTRACTOR INVOICE TRACKER

Monitor invoiced, collected, outstanding, overdue, and partial amounts, with a monthly billing summary.

CHANGE ORDER FORM

Document added or removed work, price impact, schedule impact, approval status, and revised contract value before extra work begins.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

• Contractor_Project_Proposal.xlsx

• Job_Cost_Estimator.xlsx

• Contractor_Invoice_Tracker.xlsx

• Change_Order_Form.xlsx

• README_FIRST.txt

The files use the standard .xlsx format and are designed for current desktop versions of Microsoft Excel on Mac and Windows. Every workbook includes a Getting Started tab.

One purchase permits use within the purchaser's own business. The files may not be resold, redistributed, sublicensed, or shared as templates.

These templates are general business tools, not legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice. Requirements vary by location and trade. Review formulas, rates, terms, and documents before use and consult qualified professionals where appropriate.

Instant digital delivery after successful checkout. No physical item will be shipped.
