# Create an organization

> Apply for an organization, complete business verification, and get issuer permissions.

Organizations let a company act on Universal Mint in its own name, with its own team, wallets, and approval rules. Issuer organizations can also list tokens.

## Choose a type

| Type | What it's for |
| - | - |
| **Standard organization** | Transact as an organization, for example to invest from a company treasury. |
| **Issuer organization** | List tokens and manage issuance. |

## Apply

**1. Start the application**

Open the **Workspace** menu and select **Add organization**, then choose a type.

**2. Organization details**

Enter the legal entity name, jurisdiction of incorporation, registration number, website, and business activity.

**3. Contact details**

Enter the authorized contact for the application: name, role, and work email.

**4. Issuance plans (issuers only)**

Describe the asset classes you plan to tokenize, your expected first-year issuance value, and your target investors.

**5. Review and submit**

Check your answers and select **Submit for review**.

Your application appears under **Pending review** in the Workspace menu while the platform reviews it. You'll get a notification when it's approved. If it's declined, the notification includes the reason, and you can correct it and apply again.

## Business verification (KYB)

Before an organization can list tokens or file requests, its business details must be verified.

1. Switch to the organization and open **Organization**.
2. On **Overview**, open **Business details**.
3. Complete the company details and list the **Beneficial owners (UBO)**.
4. Finish verification with Persona, or submit the details for review by the platform.

Verification lasts for a set period. When it's close to lapsing, re-verify so your organization's requests aren't refused.

> [!NOTE]
>
> To list a token you need both a verified organization (KYB) and your own verified identity (KYC). See [Identity verification](/account/identity-verification).

## Your organization's slug

Each organization has a slug, a short name used in its links and invitations, like `/org/your-slug`. It appears once your business is verified and stays the same if you rename the organization.

## Organization settings

The **Organization** page has these tabs:

* **Overview**: business details, treasury wallets, and delivery addresses.
* **Members**: your team and pending invitations. See [Team and invitations](/issuers/team-and-invitations).
* **Approval groups**: who approves what. See [Approval groups](/issuers/approval-groups).
* **Policies**: which approval group decides each action. See [Delegation and policies](/issuers/delegation).
* **Memberships**: other organizations this organization belongs to.

## Close an organization

**Close this organization** on the Overview tab suspends the organization at once. Nothing is deleted, and its history stays on the record.
