How do I set up my business?

1. Open the app (the first time, choose Get started free), or choose Get started free on tcginvoice.com.
2. Type your email and choose Email me a code (on the website, Continue with email), then type the code. Or choose the round Google button (Apple’s too, on an iPhone).
3. Type your business’s name.
4. Say whether you’re registered for VAT, add your VAT Reg No. if you have one, and choose Next.
5. Add your mobile number and choose Text me a code, then type the code: confirming it creates your account (or choose Skip confirming for now).
6. You’re all set: check what’s set, and choose Change beside anything to put it right.

Signed up with your mobile number, or with Apple’s Hide My Email? We ask for your business email first, then your business’s name. The last question’s button is Create my account.

Is your email at your business’s own web address? We offer the VAT number your website shows when we ask about VAT, and your website on the last screen: choose Yes, it’s mine, then add your logo from it if you like.

If you’re first asked where your business is, choose it: it sets your currency and tax, and can’t be changed later.

Not got everything to hand? Choose Finish later: we keep your answers and email you a link to carry on, on any device.

On the last screen, choose WhatsApp me a test quote (or Text me a test quote): a quote from your business arrives on your phone, just as your clients will get it. Try Accept on it: nothing is saved or counted. If you skipped confirming your mobile, choose Email me a test quote instead.

Your first month is Pro, free, with no card needed. After it you’re on Free, and nothing is deleted.
