Setting Up Organization Details

Setting Up Organization Details

After creating your EquiBillBook account, the first step is to configure your organization details. This information will be used across all your invoices, reports, and business documents.

Accessing Organization Settings

To set up your organization details:

1. Log in to your EquiBillBook account
2. Navigate to Settings → Organization Settings → Business Settings
3. You'll see the Business Information section where you can configure your organization details

Required Organization Information

You'll need to provide the following details:

• Business Name: Your official business or company name (this will appear on all invoices and documents)
• Business Start Date: The date when your business started operations
• Country: Select your country from the dropdown list
• Industry Type: Choose the industry category that best describes your business
• Business Type: Select one or more business types that apply to your organization
• Website URL: (Optional) Your business website address

Step-by-Step Configuration

Step 1: Enter Business Name

Enter your official business name exactly as you want it to appear on invoices, quotations, and other business documents. This name cannot be changed easily later, so ensure it's correct.

Step 2: Set Business Start Date

Select the date when your business officially started. This date is important for financial year calculations and historical reporting.

Step 3: Select Country

Choose your country from the dropdown. This selection will affect:

• Currency settings
• Tax configuration options
• Regional formatting (date, time, number formats)

Step 4: Choose Industry Type

Select the industry that best matches your business. This helps EquiBillBook provide relevant features and templates for your industry.

Step 5: Select Business Type

You can select multiple business types if applicable. Common options include:

• Retail
• Wholesale
• Manufacturing
• Service
• Restaurant
• And more...

Saving Your Settings

After filling in all the required information:

1. Review all entered details carefully
2. Click the "Update" or "Save" button
3. Wait for the confirmation message indicating that your settings have been saved successfully

Important Notes

• Business Name: This will appear on all your invoices, quotations, and business documents. Make sure it's accurate and matches your legal business name.
• Country Selection: Changing the country later may affect your tax settings and currency configuration, so choose carefully.
• Business Start Date: This is used for financial reporting and cannot be changed after transactions are recorded.
• Industry Type: While you can change this later, selecting the correct industry helps EquiBillBook provide better default settings for your business.
