Adding and verifying your business name on ShareGrid allows you to run your account as a legally registered entity or display a custom name. Follow this simple guide to add your business name, complete verification, and ensure a smooth process.
Step 1: Add Your Business Name
Log In: Sign in to your ShareGrid account.
Go to Profile Settings: Click on Settings > Profile Info.
Enable Business Name Use:
Check the box labeled “We operate under a legally registered business name.”
Enter your business name exactly as it appears in state or local records.
This name will be used to verify your business with the appropriate authorities.
Indicate DBA (If applicable): If you operate under a Doing Business As (DBA) name, check the box labeled “This is a DBA.”- You may also need to upload a valid business license during the verification process. ShareGrid will provide instructions if additional documentation is necessary.
Step 2: Verification Process
After submitting your business name:
Business Name Verification: ShareGrid will verify your business name with the relevant state or local agencies.
Temporary Pause: Your account may be temporarily suspended during this process to ensure compliance.
Reactivation: Once your license is verified and in good standing, your account will be unpaused.
Notification: You’ll receive an update once the verification is complete and your account is active.
Please note that occasionally we may need additional information. ShareGrid's verification team will send an email with detailed instructions for uploading your business license as part of the process.
Why does my account get paused during verification? ShareGrid temporarily pauses accounts to confirm that all licensing and business details meet state and local regulatory requirements. This is a standard protocol to maintain platform compliance.
How do I know if my business name is verified? Once ShareGrid completes the verification process, your account will automatically be unpaused, and you will retain your updated display name.
Does adding a business name convert my account to a business account? Yes, once the business name is added and verified, the account will become a business account.
Step 3: Operate Under Your Business Name
Once verified:
Your business name will appear on your profile as a verified entity.
You can now operate your ShareGrid account under your business name instead of your personal name.
