Company Setup
After signing up, Lumabill guides you through a short setup wizard. The first step is entering your company details. This information appears on every invoice and on the Swiss QR payment slip, so take a moment to fill everything in accurately.
Entering Your Company Details
Company Name and Address
Enter your official company name as it is registered. If you are a sole proprietor, you can use your personal name instead.
Then fill in your full business address:
- Street and number -- e.g. "Bahnhofstrasse 1"
- Postal code and city -- e.g. "8001" and "Zurich"
Important: The address appears on the QR payment slip and must match your banking details.
Contact Person and Email
Enter the name of the primary contact person (shown as the sender on invoices) and a business email address. This is the address used when sending invoices by email.
Language
Choose your company's default language (German, French, Italian, or English). This setting determines:
- The language of your invoice templates
- The pre-filled text for payment terms
- The default chart of accounts (if you use double-entry bookkeeping)
Tip: You can override the language on a per-invoice basis later -- for example, when billing international clients.
Upload Your Logo
Click Upload Logo to add your company logo. It will be displayed in the top-left corner of your invoices.
- Recommended format: PNG or SVG with a transparent background
- Ideal size: at least 200 x 200 pixels
Tip: A professional logo increases brand recognition and builds trust with your clients.
Save and Continue
Once you have filled in all the details, click Next. Lumabill saves your company data and takes you to the next step: choosing your bookkeeping mode.
You can always update your company details later under Settings > Company Profile.
Checklist
Before moving on, verify:
- Company name spelled correctly?
- Address complete (street, postal code, city)?
- Email address valid?
- Logo uploaded in good quality?
What's Next?
In the next step, you will choose your bookkeeping mode -- simple income/expense tracking or full double-entry bookkeeping.
