6. It's your data
   • Simple Invoice's philosophy means that you are in control over your data. Simple Invoices is webbased, but on your server, not some flashy web 2.0 startup that could go bust. Did you know there are more than 14 web-based invoicing software-as-service (SaaS) companies right now? How many of these will exist in 2, 4, 7 years? If you are a freelance professional or small business owner, you should be in control over your invoicing data. Simple Invoices allows that.

This is the benefit of free/open source software!
7. Multiple invoice types
   • In Simple Invoices there are various types of invoices available, each suited to different organisations. From the [Invoices+] menu, there are 3 types of invoices available: Total Invoices, Itemised Invoices and Consulting Invoices.
   • A Total Invoice is an invoice that only has a description and an amount - think an invoice from a plumber that lists the actions and then has one price and the tax associated.
   • An Itemised Invoice is an invoice that list many different items in the same invoice - think a grocery store invoice.
   • A Consulting Invoice is an invoice that is similar to the itemized style except that with each line item there is a detailed description of the work performed - think accounting, development & legal firms invoices.

   • Invoices can be printed with a number of nice looking templates to make your invoices pretty. Each biller can have his own logo for a professional look.
