# Creating an Organization

Creating an organization is the first step to setting up Qolaba for structured usage. It allows you to manage credits centrally, collaborate with others, and organize your work in a scalable way.

An organization acts as the main container for:

* Subscription and billing
* Credit allocation
* Workspaces
* Team members

***

### **1. Access Organization Setup**

* **Step 1**\
  Go to your **Qolaba Dashboard**
* **Step 2**\
  Click your **profile icon** (top-right corner)
* **Step 3**\
  Select **Create Organization**

***

### **2. Organization Setup Flow**

The setup process is guided and takes just a few steps:

* Name your organization
* Select a credit plan
* Add basic details
* Complete checkout

#### **2.1 Enter Organization Name**

Provide a name that represents how you plan to use Qolaba.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Company / Brand" %}

* Growth Studio
* FoodCo
* Marketech
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Team / Department" %}

* Marketing
* Product
* Research
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Project-Based" %}

* Project Alpha
* Campaign Launch
* Internal Experiments
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

***

#### **2.2 Select a Credit Plan**

Choose a plan based on how you expect to use the platform.

Each plan clearly shows:

* Number of credits included
* Pricing

**How to Choose the Right Plan**

Consider the following:

* **Team size**\
  More users typically require more credits
* **Type of work**
  * Text-based tasks → lower usage
  * Image and video generation → higher usage
* **Frequency of usage**\
  Occasional vs. daily workflows
* **Nature of work**
  * Lightweight exploration
  * High-volume production

Credits are shared across the organization either through shared pool or through allocated workspace budgets.

Add a few details to complete setup.

* **Company size range** (e.g., 2–50, 50–250, etc.)
* **Your role** (e.g., Marketing, Product, Research, Operations)

{% hint style="info" %}

### **3. Complete Checkout**

* **Step 1**\
  Click **Create Organization & Continue**
* **Step 2**\
  Proceed to the **payment page**
* **Step 3**\
