About enterprise account creation

{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} includes the option to create an enterprise account, which enables collaboration between multiple organizations and gives administrators a single point of visibility and management. For more information, see "About enterprise accounts."

{% data reusables.enterprise.create-an-enterprise-account %} If you pay by invoice, you can create an enterprise account yourself on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. If not, you can contact our sales team to create an enterprise account for you.

An enterprise account is included with {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}. Creation of an enterprise account does not result in additional charges on your bill.

When you create an enterprise account that owns your existing organization on {% data variables.product.product_name %}, the organization's resources remain accessible to members at the same URLs. After you add your organization to the enterprise account, the following changes will apply to the organization.

• Your existing organization will automatically be owned by the enterprise account.
• {% data variables.product.company_short %} bills the enterprise account for usage within all organizations owned by the enterprise. The current billing details for the organization, including the organization's billing email address, will become billing details for the new enterprise account. For more information, see "About billing for your enterprise."
• All current owners of your organization will become owners of the enterprise account, and all current billing managers of the organization will become billing managers of the new enterprise account. For more information, see "Roles in an enterprise."

For more information about the changes that apply to an organization after you add the organization to an enterprise, see "Adding organizations to your enterprise."
