    • You'll require access to this number to receive an SMS/voice call for verification.

    • Also see these guidelines.

  • Business Display Name (It should have a clear relationship with the Business.)

  • Keep the following ready:

    • Legal company name

    • Business phone number & website

    • Business email address

    • Country, city, state/province/region

    • Corporate street address
