# General

> Manage business profile, contact details, and authorised person information in the Merchant Dashboard

General settings cover your business identity and the authorised person on your account. Complete both sections as part of the [account setup checklist](/dashboard/setup-company-account).

## Business Profile

Under **Settings → General**, update:

* **Business details** — company name, business type, industry, description, TIN, and VAT number
* **Contact details** — phone, email, address, city, country, default language, and website

Your company name and contact details appear on ClickPesa receipts, invoices, and payment pages.

## Authorised Person

On the same page, add the authorised contact person:

* Name
* Phone number
* Email
