Before you can add employees and process pay runs, you will first need to add a new business.
NB: If you are wanting to add an additional business, and you are a brand user, see here for instructions. If you are a full access user, you will need to first log into a business (any business) that you have access to. From there, select 'Add a new business' from the suitcase icon in the top left hand corner.
Once you have created an account, you will be prompted to Add a New Business. You can do this by entering the business details in the form as shown below. 
When adding a new business you will need to provide the following information:
- CHRN - this is a unique number issued by Companies House when a limited company or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is incorporated. It is sometimes abbreviated as 'CRN' and is sometimes referred to as a Companies House Number. Your CHRN will consist of 8 numbers, or 2 letters followed by 6 numbers.
- Business Legal Name - this is the legal name of the business. It will be the name shown on pay slips
- Postcode/Town - this is the primary address for your business
Please note: if you have access to multiple white labels you will need to choose a white label that is available to you but please take note of the warning - you need to choose carefully. The business cannot be moved to a different white label once it is created.
