Invoice Header in Canada
The invoice header is located at the top section of the invoice and it contains essential information about the business that is selling goods or services. Usually, this area contains information about the seller such as their business name, business address, phone number, email address and so forth. Other additional information can be given here, including the invoice date, due date, customer business name, customer billing / shipping address, as well as the company logo.
This is not a rule, however, so there can be differing header content on different invoices based on the business preference and policies. For instance, some companies prefer to place the company logo in the footer of the invoice and so on.
When a business decides to place the company logo in the header area, this is usually for promotional purposes. The purpose for this is to catch the eyes of the customer, which will therefore help to promote the business’s products and services. An effective logo is one which is designed aesthetically in eye-catching fonts, colors, layouts and gradients. These design features make it look attractive and enhances the visual cohesion in people’s minds. The business logo can include the complete name of the business, a symbol that represents the business, or both. In order for consistent branding, the format and style of the logo should be consistent with the rest of the branding. It remains the discretion of the business to select the format, layout, colors and logo design.

However, the described content is not a rule and will vary from business to business. Usually present in the header is the company logo, as this helps to catch the eye of the invoice reader, for promotional purposes.
