  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the workspace">
    Arya asks for the workspace name. Use your legal name or brand — it will be visible to the team and on public documents like quotes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill company data">
    Enter legal name, VAT number (*partita IVA*), tax code (*codice fiscale*), registered address. For Italian operations, add the *codice SDI* or PEC email used for e-invoicing.

    <Tip>
      These values feed invoices and quotes automatically — get them right once.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick currency and language">
    Default currency (EUR) and interface language. Both can be changed later from **Settings → Workspace**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Invite the team

    Click **+ Invite member**, enter one or more emails separated by commas. Arya sends an invitation email — the recipient accepts and sets a password.

  <Step title="Assign roles">
    For each invitee pick a role:

    | Role      | When to use                                 |
    | --------- | ------------------------------------------- |
    | Admin     | Co-founders, IT, workspace owners           |
    | Manager   | Team leads (sales, HR)                      |
    | User      | Operational team members                    |
    | Read-only | External consultants, accountants, auditors |

    Roles can be changed at any time.
