# Set up your workspace

> Create your Vera account and start a workspace for your team.

<Info>**For managers** — the person setting up Vera for the business. If someone invited you to a team that already uses Vera, follow [Find your way around](/get-started/find-your-way-around) instead.</Info>

Setting up Vera takes a few minutes: create your account, then create a
workspace (your business) that your team will join.

## Create your account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Vera">
    Go to [app.veraworkspace.com](https://app.veraworkspace.com).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a new account">
    On the sign-in screen, click **Create an account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your details">
    Type your first name, last name, email, and a password (at least 8
    characters), then click **Create account**. Use an email you check
    regularly — it's how you'll sign in.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Create your workspace

Once your account is ready, Vera asks what you'd like to do.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose to create a workspace">
    On the **What are you looking for?** screen, click **Create an
    organization**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your business">
    In **Organization name**, type your business name — for example,
    `Maple Lane Café`. Vera fills in a matching **Slug** (a short web-friendly
    version of the name, like `maple-lane-cafe`) for you. You can leave it as is
    or tidy it up.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Agree and create">
    Check the box to agree to the Terms & Conditions, then click **Create
    organization**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You'll land on your new **Home** page. That's your workspace — it's free to
start, and no credit card is needed.

<Tip>Vera sets your country and time zone automatically from your device. You can change them later in **Settings › General**.</Tip>

## What success looks like

You're signed in, you see the **Home** page with your business name in the top
left, and a row of tabs across the top (Home, Schedule, Tasks, Messages, and
more). The workspace is empty for now — the next step is bringing your team in.
