# Configure Your Business

When you create a new account, Frihet walks you through the **welcome wizard**. It's the only long form you'll see — everything else is shortcuts and automation.

## Step 1: Basic company information

- **Company name** — How it appears on your invoices
- **Tax ID** — Your tax identification number
- **Registered address** — Street, number, postal code, city

## Step 2: Tax zone

Select where your business operates:

- **Spain (mainland and Balearic Islands)** — Most businesses
- **Canary Islands** — Special tax regime (IGIC instead of VAT)
- **Ceuta and Melilla** — Also a special regime
- **Other countries** — For international users outside Spain

This affects how taxes are calculated on your invoices.

## Step 3: Default tax settings

### VAT (if you're in Spain)

Select the VAT rate that applies to your activity:

- **21%** — Standard rate (most businesses)
- **10%** — Reduced (hospitality, some services)
- **4%** — Super-reduced (food, medicine)
- **Exempt** — If applicable to your case

This becomes the default applied to new invoice lines. You can always override it per document.

### Income tax withholding (Spain)

If your clients are required to withhold income tax from your invoices (mainly public sector clients):

- Set the withholding percentage (typically 15%)
- This applies automatically on invoices for clients configured with withholding

### International users

If you operate outside Spain, Frihet skips the Spanish tax configuration. You can configure your applicable tax rates from `Settings > Taxes` after completing the wizard.

## Step 4: Invoice numbering pattern

Define how your invoices are numbered. Frihet supports patterns like:

- `{YEAR}-{SEQ4}` → 2025-0001, 2025-0002, etc.
- `F-{YEAR}{SEQ3}` → F-2025001, F-2025002, etc.
- `{SEQ6}` → 000001, 000002, etc.
- Custom: use `{YEAR}`, `{MONTH}`, `{SEQ3}`, `{SEQ4}`, etc.

The pattern applies to:
- Invoices
- Quotes
- Credit notes

You can change this later in `Settings > Numbering`.

## Step 5: Branding (optional)

### Logo

Upload a PNG or SVG file. It appears on:
- Invoice PDFs
- The application header
- Documents you send to clients

Recommended size: 200x80px maximum.

### Accent color

Choose a color that represents your brand. It's used on:
- Primary buttons
- Links
- Status indicators

Frihet comes with a predefined color palette, but you can use a custom hex color.

## After the wizard

Once complete:

- You'll be redirected to the **Dashboard**
- You can create your [first invoice](./primera-factura.md)
- Any setting can be adjusted later from `Settings > Company`

If you need to change something later, it's all in `Settings`:
- Tax details
- Default VAT/withholding
- Numbering
- Logo and color

Explore all [Frihet features](https://www.frihet.io/en/features) and [available integrations](https://www.frihet.io/en/integrations) to get the most out of your setup.
