Getting started.

There are two ways to create a new bsns.cc workspace: start a public trial, or redeem a code we sent you. If you are joining somebody else’s existing business, its admin should invite you from Settings › Team instead.

1. Choose the right starting path

For a self-serve workspace, open Start a free trial. Enter your name, work email, business name and address, the kind of work you do, and an available plan for yourself or your team. The page shows the trial length, whether a card is required, the included seats, and what happens when the trial ends before you submit.

If you have an invitation code, open Redeem an invitation. Codes look like bsns-XXXXXXXX, can be redeemed once, and expire 30 days after they are generated. The account page shows that invite's plan, trial, price, card requirement, and agreement requirement before you submit. An expired or invalid code needs a fresh invitation.

2. Confirm your email and sign in

Signup sends a secure one-time link to the address you entered. Opening it confirms the account. You can then add a passkey with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or your phone. Password, Google, and Apple sign-in remain available where configured; see Settings for MFA and recovery details.

The trial path creates an available workspace subdomain from the business name. Invitation signup also exposes an advanced subdomain field if you want to choose it before creating the workspace.

3. Continue to one workspace setup

After email confirmation and any security step shown, continue to your workspace. Pick one useful outcome first; you can finish the rest of setup later. If the welcome page recommends importing a website and you want to start with client work instead, choose another starting step or ask Wren to guide you.

  • Organize client work. Create a projectand give it one real task with a next step.
  • Take bookings. Create a booking link. An admin can create the first person resource in that same flow. Review its hours and timezone before sharing.
  • Get paid. Add the client and prepare an invoice. Review its recipient and amounts before sending. Connect your payment account if you want to collect payment online.

Let Wren guide you

Where available, choose Ask Wren to guide me on the welcome page. Tell Wren your goal and what you have already done. Wren can propose creating a project or client, or explain where to go next. Review each proposed change before confirming it, then follow its result to the record. A recommendation alone has not created anything. See Get started with Wren for the full walkthrough.

If Wren is unavailable or has reached its usage allowance, use the welcome page and written guides. Your saved work remains available. You do not need to invite a teammate, add a logo, or import a website to start working. The setup checklist shows progress as you create real records; it is a guide, not a requirement to complete every step.

You can also take the short tour or load fictional sample data. Sample data is labeled and managed in Settings › Sample data. On a phone, the web welcome page provides the same starting choices; the native mobile app focuses on daily work and has its own Wren screen.

If you get stuck

  • Email link missing or expired? Check spam, then return to Sign in and request a fresh link for the same email address.
  • Already started? Sign in with the same account and continue with your existing workspace. Avoid creating another workspace just to retry setup.
  • Payment step interrupted? Follow the checkout recovery instructions shown after returning, or sign in and open billing settings. Review the displayed plan and trial terms before completing checkout.
  • A control is missing? Check the selected business and your role. Available features depend on your plan and access. Use Get help if you cannot continue.

What gets turned on

Your plan and workspace setup determine which features are available. Solo plans and team plans have different seat allowances and capabilities. Read Pricing for the current package structure, then use the app guides and Common jobs on Help for the surfaces enabled in the active business.

Choose one small piece of real work and follow it through. When that works for you, add another workflow using the guides in Help. Paying for your bsns subscription and connecting an account to receive client payments are separate steps.
