Invoice — Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions UAE founders, freelancers and SMEs ask about the invoice.
- Is the FoundersNeed Invoice Maker really free?
- Yes — the first 100 documents every 30 days are free for every user, no signup required. Upgrade to Pro (79 AED/month) if you send more than 100 documents per month or want saved history.
- Do I need a TRN to use the Invoice Maker?
- No. A TRN (15-digit FTA tax number) is only required if your business is VAT-registered. If you do have one, add it to your saved company profile and FoundersNeed will print it on every document automatically.
- Does the Invoice Maker support 5% VAT?
- Yes. Switch between VAT exclusive, inclusive, zero-rated and exempt modes. The total breaks out the 5% VAT line so the document satisfies FTA tax-invoice rules.
- Can I add my company logo?
- Yes. Upload your logo once on the Invoice Maker and FoundersNeed embeds it at the top of every PDF you download. Pro users can save it permanently in their reusable business profile.
- What format does the invoice download in?
- A clean, print-ready PDF that renders identically on desktop, tablet and mobile. You can also print directly from the browser or share the document over WhatsApp and email.
- Is the Invoice Maker usable across the GCC, not just the UAE?
- Yes. The defaults are UAE-localised (AED, 5% VAT, emirate addresses), but every field is editable so the Invoice Maker works for KSA, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait — just swap the currency and tax line.
- Where is my invoice stored?
- Free users keep nothing on FoundersNeed servers — the PDF is generated in your browser and downloaded directly. Pro users can opt in to save full document history to the dashboard for instant retrieval.
- Can I edit a invoice after I download it?
- Open the Invoice Maker again, change any field, and re-download. Pro users can reopen any saved document from the dashboard, tweak it, and re-export — useful for revisions, addendums and reissues.
