What is a Chocolatier Chocolatier invoice?

A chocolatier invoice records orders for hand-crafted chocolate products — truffles, bonbons, pralines, ganaches, chocolate bars, and custom confectionery gifts. UK chocolatiers work across retail, corporate gifting, wedding favours, and wholesale supply to delis, farm shops, and independent retailers. Many also run chocolate-making workshops as an experiential product. Like all food businesses, UK chocolatiers must be registered as a food business with their local authority and comply with UK food labelling regulations including allergen disclosure. Chocolate products containing dairy, gluten, nuts, or soy must carry clear allergen warnings. Corporate gifting orders often come with specific branding requirements — custom packaging, branded boxes, or personalised labels — which add a setup cost to the invoice. Workshop invoices should cover both the instruction and all materials used.

How to invoice as a Chocolatier chocolatier

For large bespoke orders (weddings, corporate gifting) take a 30–50% deposit at the point of ordering to cover premium chocolate and packaging procurement. Issue the balance invoice 1–2 weeks before the delivery or collection date. For workshop bookings, issue invoices in advance with full or majority payment upfront. Participants who pay in advance are far less likely to cancel. Include a clear cancellation policy on the invoice. For wholesale accounts, issue consolidated monthly invoices with Net 14 or Net 30 terms. Include a delivery note reference for each order to help the retailer reconcile against their purchasing records.

Frequently asked questions

Do chocolatiers need a food business registration?
Yes. All commercial food producers in the UK must register as a food business with the local authority, including home-based chocolatiers.
What allergen information is required?
Chocolate products typically contain dairy, soy lecithin, and may contain nuts. Full allergen disclosure on packaging is required under UK food law.
Are handmade chocolates subject to VAT?
Confectionery (including chocolate products) is standard-rated at 20% for VAT purposes. Register once your turnover exceeds £90,000.
How do I price bespoke corporate orders?
Factor in premium chocolate cost, labour, custom packaging, setup, and delivery. A markup of 3–4x ingredient cost is common for artisan confectionery.
