Proposal Types
What is a commercial proposal?
The business and pricing side of a deal — what it costs and what you deliver.
What it covers
A commercial proposal focuses on the business and pricing side of a deal — the “what will this cost and what do we deliver” document. It typically includes:
- Scope summary — brief and non-technical
- Pricing tables and cost breakdown
- Deliverables
- Project timelines
- Payment terms and milestones
- Validity period of the quote
- Terms and conditions
- Acceptance and next steps
Use it when
The client may or may not already understand the technical approach, and needs numbers, terms and a commercial agreement to move forward.
