# Account and company

> Create an Envoi account and set up your company.

You create the account and the company in the same wizard. It takes a few minutes, and everything you choose here can be changed later under **Settings**.

<Info>
  The company must be registered in the Brønnøysund Register Centre (Brønnøysundregistrene). If you are starting a new business, register it first at [brreg.no](https://www.brreg.no) and come back afterwards.
</Info>

## How to do it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Your company">
    Look up the company by organisation number or name. Envoi fetches the name and address from the Brønnøysund Register Centre.

    If the company is already on Envoi, you can choose **Send request**. The account owner is then notified and can approve you, and you wait on a separate page until that happens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your account">
    Enter your first name, last name, email and a password of at least 10 characters. You can also choose **Continue with Google**.

    You become the owner of the company account, and can invite others later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify email">
    Envoi sends a 6-digit code to your email. Enter it to activate the account. If you did not get a code, you can choose **Resend code**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invoice setup">
    This is what you need to send an invoice:

    * **Business name on invoice**, if it should be different from the legal name.
    * **VAT-registered**. If you are, «MVA» is added automatically after the organisation number on your invoices.
    * **Account number** (11 digits). Can be added later.
    * **Payment terms**: 7, 14, 30 or 45 days.

    Numbering starts at 0001 for each document type. Once the first invoice has been sent, you cannot skip or change numbers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="What do you sell?">
    Answer who you invoice, roughly how many invoices you send a month and which industry you are in. The industry is used to suggest a VAT code. This is also where you choose a subscription.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accountant">
    This step is optional, and you can skip it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Terms">
    Review the summary, accept the terms and create the account. You land on the dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After the account is created

At the top of the dashboard is **Finish setting up**, with what remains, such as logo and contact details.
