# Create organization

You can create multiple organizations in Coupler.io - for example, to separate billing, teams, or projects. Each organization has its own billing, settings, data flows, connections, and users.

Follow the steps below to add a new organization.

### Requirements <a href="#requirements-tnuxk" id="requirements-tnuxk"></a>

Before creating a new organization, make sure **you are a member of at least one paid organization.** Organization creation is available only to users with an active paid subscription.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Free-trial organizations cannot create new organizations. If you only have a trial org, the Add organization option will be disabled.
{% endhint %}

### What happens when you create a new organization? <a href="#what-happens-when-you-create-a-new-organization-cxiyt" id="what-happens-when-you-create-a-new-organization-cxiyt"></a>

The new organization starts in a clean state. It is completely isolated from existing organizations:

* **No data flows are copied**
* **No source or destination connections are copied**
* **No users are copied**
* Only **you** (the creator) are added as the **Organization Owner**

{% hint style="info" %}
New organizations start with a free 7-day trial, so you can prepare your setup before starting a paid plan.
