Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you know:

• {% data variables.product.github %} username of the client who will become the owner of the enterprise you create
• Enterprise name your client would like to use
• Email address for receipts
• Number of seats your client needs in the enterprise
• Enterprise account type required by your client, see AUTOTITLE

Step 1: Create your personal account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}

You will use your personal account to set up the enterprise account. You'll also need to sign in to this account to renew or make changes to your client's subscription in the future.

If you already have a personal account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, skip to step 2.

{% data reusables.billing.create-personal-account %}

Step 2: Create the enterprise account

{% data reusables.enterprise.create-enterprise-account %}

1. Depending on your client's requirements:

   • Enterprise with personal accounts on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}: click Get started with personal accounts
   • Enterprise with managed users, and optional data residence: click Get started with managed users

2. Complete the form with your client's information.

   If you chose Enterprise managed users, define your data hosting requirements AUTOTITLE.

3. Click Create your enterprise.

Step 3: Upgrade the enterprise to a yearly paid subscription

{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.settings-tab %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.billing-tab %}

1. At the top of the page, click Buy Enterprise.
2. Under "How often do you want to be billed?", select Pay yearly.
3. Under "How many seats do you want to include?", type the number of seats your client wants.
4. Under "Payment method", input your payment details.
5. Click Complete {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} purchase.

Step 4: Invite your client as an enterprise owner

Invite your client to become an enterprise owner. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

Step 5: Change your role to billing manager

{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.people-tab %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.administrators-tab %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.change-role-to-billing-manager %}

Next steps

1. Contact your client and ask them to add you to the enterprise as a billing manager. You'll need to be a billing manager for the enterprise so that you can renew or make changes to your client's subscription in the future. See AUTOTITLE.
2. Your client's paid subscription will automatically renew unless you remove your company's payment method from the enterprise, see AUTOTITLE.
3. If you want to remove your company's credit card from the enterprise so that it's not automatically charged for renewals and any other costs, contact {% data variables.contact.contact_support %}.
