# Create New Company

> Create a new company verification record manually in the iDenfy dashboard with company details, documents, and key people information.

Use the **Create new company** page when you need to input business details on behalf of the client, rather than sending them a blank form. This is useful for pre-filling known data before asking the client to verify or complete the rest using the [**Request Update**](/guides/dashboard/kyb/request-update-kyb) feature.
