Can I create a business account for renting out?

Updated over a week ago

Yes, you can create a business account on Hygglo if you are renting out items.

How to create a business account

  1. Create an account

    • Sign up using your email, Google, Apple ID, or (in the Nordics) BankID.

    • The account must be created in the name of the individual who will manage it. The name should be entered in the Name field during signup.

    • If you register with BankID, your name will be automatically retrieved and added from your BankID details.

  2. Publish a listing

    • Only users who are renting out items can have a business account.

    • Create and publish your first ad before switching to a business profile.

  3. Switch to a business profile

    • Go to Edit profile.

    • Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and tick the option to change your account to a business profile.

    • A Company name field will appear enter your company name here.


What’s the difference between a business and a personal account?

The differences are small, but here’s what changes when you switch to a business profile:

  • Display name: Your company name will appear on your listings, in messages, and on receipts.

  • VAT on receipts: VAT is included on the borrower’s receipt when applicable.

  • Account management: The account remains linked to the individual who created it. This person is responsible for managing the listings and communication on behalf of the business.



Renting as a business

There is no difference between a business and a personal account when renting items from others. The business setting only applies when you are renting items out.

When you rent something, you always do it as a private individual. It is therefore not possible to make a booking in a company’s name or receive an invoice issued directly to a business.

However, the private individual who rents can use the receipt from Hygglo for expense reporting in their company’s accounts, if the company is covering the cost.


Important information

  • The Name fields must always reflect the person who has registered and manages the account.

  • The Company name field should be used for your business name if you are renting out as a company.

  • It is not currently possible to have multiple users managing one account. Each Hygglo account must belong to and be managed by a single individual.
