By trade

Choose your template

Each template has its own page, which details what it contains, how to fill it in and what the French rules of the trade require. The trade test then tells you which software to choose when Excel is no longer enough.

Frequently asked questions

Free templates: your questions

Are the templates really free?

Yes. Each template downloads in one click, without sign-up or email address, and you can edit, print and reuse it as much as you want. The only trade-off: a “template by Dibodev” line in the footer, which you may remove.

What is the difference between the PDF and the Excel file?

The PDF is made to be printed and filled in by hand, on site or at the customer’s. The Excel file holds the same documents with formulas: totals excl. and incl. VAT, VAT per rate, hours, stock differences or hour balances are calculated as soon as you type the figures. Both print on A4 pages.

Is the legal wording up to date?

Each template carries the sourced French rules of its trade tool page (quote before any job, reduced VAT, boiler maintenance, ten-year insurance, attendance, mandatory notices…), with the review date at the top of its page. They do not replace the advice of your accountant or insurer.

Can I adapt a template to my business?

That is the idea. Fill in the header with your details, SIRET and insurance, add or remove lines, change the default rates, then save the file as your own template. The Excel formulas follow the lines you add inside the tables.

My trade has no template, what can I do?

The templates follow the trades of the tests on this site. A quote from a neighbouring trade often adapts in a few minutes (the plumber quote suits any building tradesperson). Otherwise, describe your document to me: I tell you for free whether a template is enough or whether a tool is worth it.

And when the documents pile up?

A template is enough for a few documents a week. When they get copied from one file to the next, off-the-shelf software or a custom tool takes over: the test of each trade tells you which one to choose and how much to budget, with the 2026 prices of the software sold in France.

When a template is no longer enough?

Describe your business and the documents you fill in every week. I reply within 24 hours, and if off-the-shelf software is enough, I tell you so.
