About LuaBill - Open source for small businesses
We wanted a simple, transparent way to create professional business documents and decided to share it.
More time for your business
Starting a business takes skill, energy and courage. Formatting an invoice should not become another obstacle.
LuaBill is built for founders, independent professionals and small teams who want dependable business documents without a complicated workflow. Our aim is practical: reduce repetitive paperwork, make important details easier to check and give people more time for the work their customers value.
Our initial focus has been the quality of the finished documents and practical, clearly arranged input forms. LuaLaTeX brings established technical and scientific typesetting to everyday business documents, including mathematical notation when a project needs it.
The project is open source and free to use. You can inspect the code, adapt it to your needs and help improve it. Germany is our first market, with support for German sellers working with customers in Germany, elsewhere in the EU and beyond.
Help make everyday paperwork easier
LuaBill is an open project. Practical feedback from people who issue real business documents is as valuable as a code contribution.
Try a realistic workflow
Test a quotation, invoice or order with fictional data. Describe what you expected, what happened and which version and operating system you used.
Improve language and guidance
Help refine translations, examples and explanations. Clear words make unfamiliar fields easier for the next person.
Check a platform or format
Help verify Linux/macOS setup, fonts, printer output and invoice exchange with recipient systems. Share reproducible findings without customer or banking secrets.
Adapt and share the code
Download the source, read LICENSE and NOTICE, and explore the templates and tests. Improvements to accessibility, validation and document layout are welcome.
