This article will guide you through the process of creating an Organization. For more information about Organizations, see [About Organizations](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/about-organizations).
### Before You Begin
If you're a new user of Bitwarden, you'll need to create an account before you can create your Organization. Create your account for free [**here**](https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/register){:target="\_blank"} or refer to [Create Your Bitwarden Account](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/create-bitwarden-account/) for help.
When you create an Organization, you will be assigned the User Type **Owner**. For more information, see [User Types and Access Control](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/user-types-access-control/).
## Create an Organization
Complete the following steps to create an Organization:
1. Log in to your [Web Vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com){:target="\_blank"}.
2. Select the **New Organization** button.

3. On the New Organization screen, enter an **Organization Name** for your new Organization and the **Billing Email** we can reach you at.
{% callout info %}Paid Organizations (Families, Teams, or Enterprise) have a 7 Day Free Trial built in. We won't charge you until your trial is over. You can cancel your subscription at any time in the **Settings** tab of your Organization.
{% endcallout %}
4. If you're creating an Organization on behalf of a business:
- Check the **This account is owned by a business** checkbox.
- Provide your **Business Name**.
Checking the **This account is owned by a business** checkbox will automatically filter your plan options to those suited to businesses. If you represent a business interested in testing secure sharing using a Free Organization, leave this option unchecked.
5. In the **Choose Your Plan** section, select which type of Organization to create. Options include:
- **Free:** For testing or personal use, to share with 1 other user. [**Learn more.**](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/about-bitwarden-plans/#free-organizations)
- **Families:** For personal use, to share between 6 friends or family members. [**Learn more.**](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/about-bitwarden-plans/#families-organizations)
- **Teams:** For businesses and other team organizations. [**Learn more.**](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/about-bitwarden-plans/#teams-organizations)
- **Enterprise:** For businesses and other large organizations. [**Learn more.**](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/about-bitwarden-plans/#enterprise-organizations)
{% callout info %}Paid Organizations (Families, Teams, or Enterprise) include premium features for all enrolled users. For more information about premium features, see [About Bitwarden Plans](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/about-bitwarden-plans/#compare-the-plans).
{% endcallout %}
6. If you selected a Paid Organization, enter the following information:
- For **Teams** or **Enterprise**, enter the number of **User Seats** you need. You can add additional seats later if required.
- For **Families**, **Teams**, or **Enterprise**, enter the amount of **Additional Storage (GB)** you need. You plan comes with 1 GB of shared encrypted file storage, and you can add additional storage later if needed.
- For **Teams** or **Enterprise**, select whether you'd like to be billed **Annually** or **Monthly**. Families Organizations may only be billed annually.
- For any Paid Organization, enter your **Payment Information**
7. Click **Submit** to start using your new Organization.
