Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to rental listing photography.
This is a planning reference for rental listing photography. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional photography order: photograph one vacant two-bedroom rental unit for its owner or authorized registered agent, delivering 18 labelled edited images and a contact sheet. Example coverage is living room four views, each bedroom three, kitchen three, bathroom two and entrance/common approach three. This is 18 images across six labelled areas. Supply accurate marketing photographs with agreed usage rights; exclude tenant screening, letting negotiation, valuation, floor-plan certification and removal of material property limitations through editing.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0721: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 1 priced units at KSh 6,000.00 each. Buyer group: Landlords and authorized agents needing clear room images. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 1 x KSh 6,000.00 = KSh 6,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 4,300.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,700.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 1,800.00. The invoice balance is KSh 4,200.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 2,500.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
These sample entries are not your actual job records. Keep names, contacts and payment references in private copies. The paid pack contains offline editable costing, operations and cash-planning tools; this public sheet explains how the records connect.
