# Business verification quickstart

Verify a company through a **Business** workflow. The registry lookup can be combined with documents, declarations and checks on key people. Business verification must be enabled for your organisation.

## 1. Publish a Business workflow

In **Workflows**, create a **Business** workflow in **Sandbox**. Select a supported country and the checks you need, then publish it. Copy its `workflowId`. See [Business verification](https://trust.myaza.co/documentation/business-verification/markdown) for products and availability.

## 2. Send a link

Use the workflow's [hosted link](https://trust.myaza.co/documentation/workflows/markdown#2-share-a-hosted-link) to invite many applicants. For one known business, call [`POST /api/kyc/sessions`](https://trust.myaza.co/documentation/api-create-session/markdown) from your backend with a Sandbox secret key (`sk_test_…`):

```bash
curl "https://trust.myaza.app/api/kyc/sessions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MYAZA_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "workflowId": "wf_AbC123dEf456",
    "externalUserId": "business_42",
    "business": { "country": "NG", "registrationNumber": "RC123456" }
  }'
```

The `201 Created` response includes:

```json
{ "session": { "sessionId": "cmt1gfjce05g547grqbmjsiqf", "url": "https://trust.myaza.co/verify/pXk3...", "kind": "business" } }
```

Send `session.url` to the applicant. The registry remains the source of truth for any prefilled company details.

## 3. Follow the result

Receive [verification webhooks](https://trust.myaza.co/documentation/webhooks/markdown) or read the [session status](https://trust.myaza.co/documentation/api-verification-status/markdown). A company registry result and the workflow's onboarding decision can finish at different times, especially when [key people](https://trust.myaza.co/documentation/key-people/markdown) must complete due diligence. Use the final [workflow decision](https://trust.myaza.co/documentation/decisioning/markdown) for your onboarding action.
