Every [[company/farmwalk|Farmwalk]] account belongs to at least one organisation. If you're brand new, the first thing you'll do after signing up is create one.
What is an organisation?
An organisation is the container for everything you and your team manage in [[company/farmwalk|Farmwalk]] - your farms, schemes, evidence, documents and team members. It usually maps to a single business: "Thompson Farming Ltd", a contracting company, or an adviser practice.
Creating it
Go to /onboard/organisation (you'll be sent here automatically if you have no organisation yet)
Enter your organisation name - between 2 and 100 characters
Click Create
What happens next
After creation you become the owner of the organisation. From here you can:
Add your first farm
Invite team members and assign roles
Configure organisation-wide settings
Choosing a good name
Use the legal name of the business so paperwork (invoices, scheme reports) reads correctly
Avoid abbreviations that only your team will recognise
Pick something [[company/stable|stable]] - the name appears on shared documents and customer-facing portals
Tips
If you advise multiple farming businesses, create one organisation per business and link your account to each - keep their data separate
You can rename the organisation later from settings, but the slug used in URLs stays the same
Need to set up several at once? Get them all named first so you have a clear picture before inviting people
