# Create or join a company and BigChange setup

After you have a user account, Connect needs a **company** and, for BigChange tenants, **BigChange credentials** before Jobs, Cases, and Connie have live data to work with.

## Create a company

1. Go to `/signup/company/create` (Connect may redirect you here automatically).
2. Complete **Company details** and **Your company role** (product role for company access).
3. Submit. If approval is required, you will see **Pending approval**.
4. When approved, continue to BigChange setup if prompted.

## Join an existing company

If you have an invite, use [Sign up → Join company](/connect/sign-up) instead of creating a second company.

## BigChange setup

If your company has no BigChange client configured, Connect can send you to **BigChange integration** at `/signup/company/bigchange-setup`.

1. Open BigChange setup when redirected.
2. Enter the BigChange credentials your Customer Success Manager or BigChange admin provided.
3. Wait for **Connecting to BigChange…** to finish.
4. Skip is available when your onboarding path allows it — without a working connection, Jobs and Cases will not fill with live work.

<Warning>
  Treat BigChange credentials as secrets. Do not share them in chat, tickets, or screenshots without redaction.
</Warning>
