## 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
* {% data variables.product.github %} username for the CSP partner that must be assigned to the customers enterprise account to manage metered billing and access support
* 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](/admin/managing-iam/understanding-iam-for-enterprises/choosing-an-enterprise-type-for-github-enterprise-cloud)
## Step 1: Create the enterprise account in the Azure portal
As a Microsoft CSP partner, you can get started with {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} from the Microsoft Azure portal.
1. Sign in to the Microsoft Azure portal.
1. In the search bar, type "{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}" and select **{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}** to go the landing page.
1. Select **Get started with {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}**.
1. Choose an enterprise type. To help you decide which choice is best for the enterprise, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/identity-and-access-management/understanding-iam-for-enterprises/choosing-an-enterprise-type-for-github-enterprise-cloud).
1. Complete the form with your client's information.
{% data reusables.billing.enterprise-create-button %}
## Step 2: Purchase {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}
At any time during the trial, you can purchase {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} for your client by linking it to their Azure subscription. If the account is later transferred to the customer, ensure the Azure subscription is fully managed by them.
{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %}
1. At the top of the page, in the blue banner, click **Activate Enterprise**.
1. Click **Add Azure subscription**.
1. To sign in to your Microsoft account, follow the prompts.
{% data reusables.billing.azure-accept-permissions %}
If you don't see a "Permissions requested" prompt, and instead see a message indicating that you need admin approval, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/how-tos/troubleshooting/azure-sub-connection).
1. Under "Select a subscription", select the Azure Subscription ID that you want to connect to your organization. {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.tenant-app-permissions %}
{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.connect-azure %}
1. Click **Activate Enterprise**.
## Step 3: Invite your client as an enterprise owner
Invite your client to become an enterprise owner. See [AUTOTITLE](/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/user-management/managing-users-in-your-enterprise/inviting-people-to-manage-your-enterprise#inviting-an-enterprise-administrator-to-your-enterprise-account).
## Step 4: Change your role to billing manager
Optionally, you can change your role to billing manager to manage the billing for the enterprise account, without having full administrative access.
{% 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 %}
## Contacting support
As a Microsoft CSP partner, you can use the [{% data variables.contact.github_support %} for Microsoft CSP](https://support.github.com/contact?tags=partner-microsoft-csp) landing page to speak to {% data variables.contact.github_support %}. For more information about creating a support ticket, see [AUTOTITLE](/support/contacting-github-support/creating-a-support-ticket).
