If you want to create an enterprise account for a client, see AUTOTITLE or AUTOTITLE.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you know:

• {% data variables.product.github %} username of the client who will become the owner of the organization you create
• Organization name your client would like to use
• Email address for receipts
• Number of seats your client needs in the organization

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

You will use your personal account to set up the organization. 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 organization

{% data reusables.user-settings.access_settings %} {% data reusables.user-settings.organizations %} {% data reusables.organizations.new-organization %}

1. Under "Choose a plan", click Choose {% data variables.product.prodname_free_team %}. You will upgrade the organization in the next step. {% data reusables.organizations.organization-name %}
2. Under "Contact email", type a contact email address for your client. {% data reusables.dotcom_billing.owned_by_business %}
3. Click Next.

Step 3: Upgrade the organization to a paid plan with yearly payment

{% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.profile.org_settings %} {% data reusables.organizations.billing_plans_or_licensing %} {% data reusables.dotcom_billing.upgrade_org %} {% data reusables.billing.client-billing-yearly %}

1. Under "How many seats do you want to include?", define the number of seats you require. {% data reusables.dotcom_billing.enter-payment-info %}
2. Review the information, then click Save to confirm the changes.

Step 4: Invite your client to join the organization

{% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.user-settings.access_org %} {% data reusables.organizations.people %} {% data reusables.organizations.invite_member_from_people_tab %}

1. In the search field, type your client's {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} username and press Enter.
2. Select Owner, then click Send invitation.
3. Your client will receive an email inviting them to the organization.

Note

You cannot move on to the next step until your client accepts the invitation to become an organization owner.

Step 5: Transfer organization ownership to your client

{% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.user-settings.access_org %} {% data reusables.organizations.people %}

1. Confirm that your client is listed among the members of the organization and is assigned the owner role.

2. To the right of your username, select the {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="Member settings" %} dropdown menu, and click Manage.

   

3. In the left sidebar, click Remove from organization.

4. Confirm your choice and click Remove members.

Next steps

1. Contact your client and ask them to add you to the organization as a billing manager. You'll need to be a billing manager for the organization 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 organization. See AUTOTITLE.
3. If you want to remove your company's credit card from the organization so that it's not automatically charged for renewals and any other costs, contact {% data variables.contact.contact_support %}.
