What belongs on it, and what does not
The job of a business letterhead is to answer "who sent this and how do I reach them" before the reader gets to the first line. That means the trading name, one reliable postal address, and one or two ways to reply. Most letterheads go wrong by adding more: three phone numbers, two email addresses, a fax line nobody has used in a decade, and a tagline that repeats what the company name already says.
A logo helps if you have one, but a name set well in a good typeface is not a downgrade. What does hurt is a low-resolution logo stretched to fit — if the only copy you have is a small web image, the design reads better without it.
When a business letterhead becomes a company letterhead
If the business is a registered legal entity, the letterhead usually needs to carry more: a registration number, sometimes the registered office address, sometimes a tax ID. Which of those apply depends on where the company is registered and what the letter is doing, so check the rules for your jurisdiction rather than copying another company's footer.
Both fields are toggles in the editor under Extras, so you can produce either version from the same design. If the registered-entity version is the one you need, the company letterhead page covers it directly.
What a business letterhead is for
A business letterhead identifies who a letter is from before anyone reads a word of it: company or trading name, logo, address, phone, email and website, arranged in a consistent header (and often a lighter footer). It doesn't need to include legal registration details unless the business is formally incorporated — see our company letterhead guide if that applies to you.
Common uses
- Client proposals, quotes and invoices
- Cover letters and formal correspondence
- Printed notices sent to customers or partners
- A consistent header for internal memos

Business letterhead questions
What should a business letterhead include?
At minimum: your business name, logo (optional but recommended), address, and one or two contact methods (phone, email or website). A tagline is optional but helps set tone.
Is a business letterhead example the same as a company letterhead example?
Usually yes in layout — the difference is that a company letterhead (for a registered legal entity) typically also carries a company registration number and tax ID in the footer, which a general business letterhead doesn't need.
What is the best letterhead format for a business?
A4 for businesses operating internationally or outside North America, US Letter for the US and Canada. Both are available as one-click paper size options in the editor.
Can I create a business letterhead for free?
Yes — every template, font, colour and export format (PDF, PNG, JPG and SVG) in Letterheads is free to use with no sign-up.
