Change your company name, contact info, or Business Number (BN) in QuickBooks Online

Learn how to change your company name, contact info, or Business Number (BN) in QuickBooks Online.

The info your customers see on sales forms and invoices depends on what you set up in your account. It’s also your internal info on file with Intuit. If you need to make changes, you can always edit them in the settings.

In this article, you'll learn how to:

• Change your company info
• Update your company name
• Update your contact information
• Update your company addresses
• Update preferences for promotional offers from Intuit
• Update other information

Change your company info

Keep your company info up to date so customers can identify and contact your business. There are also features in QuickBooks that use your company info to work, so make sure it's accurate.

Note: In some scenarios, it might be best to add another company instead of changing your company info. This keeps your books distinct for tax purposes. This is likely best if you’ll use a different Business Number (BN) for filing.

1. Go to Settings and select Account and settings.
2. Select Company, then ✎ Edit the section you want to update.
3. Select Save, then select Done.

Update your company name

Update other information

There are also several places you need to update after making changes to your company info. QuickBooks can’t automatically update everything, so you have to manually update them:

Update your default sales form message

When you update your company name, make sure you also update your default sales form message. Otherwise, it’ll continue to use the previous name.

Note: You can add a logo to appear on your sales invoices. For more information, see Adding a logo to sales invoice.

Update your company info for different locations

If you use location tracking, and have different business names for different locations, update your custom sales forms by location.
