# How to set the company details your invoices show



**Settings › Company details** is your letterhead: who an invoice is from and how to pay you.
Tideswell prints it on every wholesale invoice. See <Ref to="workspace-admin" /> for the rest of
Settings.

Fill it in once, before your first invoice goes to a buyer. You will rarely need to change it.

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

**Settings** sits at the foot of the menu for admins of the workspace, and this is one of its rows.
Saving needs the **Rename organization** row in **Settings › Permissions**, which admins have by
default. See <Ref to="workspace-admin/permissions" />.

## What do you need to fill in? [#what-do-you-need-to-fill-in]

The **Legal name** and **Address**. Send to buyer refuses to email an invoice until both are filled
in, because an invoice has to say who sent it. Every other field is optional.

1. Open **Settings › Company details**.
2. Fill in the fields below.
3. Press **Save**. "Company details saved." confirms it.

## What does each field do? [#what-does-each-field-do]

* **Legal name**: the name on the bill, not the brand name if they differ. Fairgreen Golf Co.
  might trade as Fairgreen and bill as its registered company.
* **Address**: printed under the legal name. Type it on several lines, the way it should appear.
* **Billing email** and **Phone**: printed under the address, so a buyer knows who to ask.
* **Tax or company number**: an EIN, VAT number or company registration, whatever your buyers
  need. It prints under the phone number.
* **How to pay you**: wire details, or who to make a cheque out to. It prints under a **How to
  pay** heading near the foot of the invoice.
* **Invoice footer**: anything you want at the bottom of every invoice, such as your terms, a
  thank you or a returns note.

## Where do these details appear? [#where-do-these-details-appear]

Every field you fill in prints on a wholesale invoice's PDF, whether you download it or
**Send to buyer** emails it. The CSV carries the **Legal name** in its **From** column, and the email's subject
reads "Invoice INV-000123 from" followed by your legal name. See
<Ref to="wholesale/invoice-and-payment" /> for sending invoices.

The **Legal name** also signs purchase orders. When you send one to a supplier with **Send
revision**, the **From** line reads your name with the legal name in brackets, such as "Priya
Raman (Fairgreen Golf Co.)".

Until the **Legal name** is filled in, your workspace name stands in. See
<Ref to="purchasing/revise-close-and-export" />.

## When do changes take effect? [#when-do-changes-take-effect]

From the moment you save. Every invoice you download or send from then on carries the new
details, older invoices included.

Update the details before a big invoicing run rather than halfway through, so every buyer in that
run receives the same letterhead.
