At first glance, filling out your Business Profile in Agent CRM seems simple—just some basic info about your agency.

But here’s the truth: getting this section right is critical if you want to avoid issues with phone number registration, A2P compliance, and message deliverability.

Let’s break down what you need to know, what to avoid, and how to complete your Business Profile with total confidence.

🔍 Where to Find the Business Profile

Start by going to the bottom-left Settings menu and selecting “Business Profile.”

Here you’ll find everything from your logo upload to your legal business information, authorized representative, time zone, and more.

But don’t just speed through this part—because it plays a big role in future phone system compliance.

🧾 Why Accuracy Is So Important

Your Business Profile information is reviewed during phone number registration by third-party verification partners.
That means:

• If your legal business name doesn’t match your EIN registration (CP575), you’ll face delays.

• If your address is outdated, your submission could get flagged.

• If your info is missing or incomplete, you might pay for resubmissions.

This is not the place for guesswork. Use official documents to fill in each field.

🏷️ Friendly Business Name vs Legal Name

There are two names to know:

• Friendly Business Name – Appears in your Agent CRM interface and is visible on the top left.

• Legal Business Name – Must exactly match your government registration (like your CP575 EIN document).

Don’t confuse the two. The Friendly Name is internal, but the Legal Name is what carriers care about.

📥 What If You Don’t Have an EIN?

No problem. You can still complete phone number registration without an EIN.
Just mark your business type correctly (sole proprietor, LLC, etc.) and move forward.

⚠️ Yellow Boxes? Here’s Why…

You may notice yellow boxes or missing fields — some features like voicemail settings or call routing are being moved to new sections of the CRM.

Don’t panic. Simply follow the links or fill in what’s currently available. These updates are part of streamlining your user experience.

🔁 Should You Allow Duplicate Contacts?

In most cases, no.

Allowing duplicate contacts can clutter your CRM and throw off your automations.
✅ Exception: When importing a list that includes shared emails (e.g., a couple with different policies but one email), you can temporarily enable this feature—then disable it afterward.

🧠 Activate Number Intelligence & Email Verification

Two key features to turn on:

1. Number Intelligence – Detects spam numbers, landlines, and filters out bad phone numbers.
   🔒 Reduces wasted call time and protects your caller reputation.

2. Email Verification – Validates email addresses before sending campaigns.
   📧 Helps maintain your sender reputation and deliverability.

Yes, there’s a small cost for these lookups—but it will save you money by avoiding failed texts, calls, or email bounces.

🕒 Contact Time Zones

Unless you only serve one city or state, keep Contact Time Zones enabled.

This ensures automations send messages during appropriate local hours, which helps with engagement and compliance.

📈 Turn On Reporting Features

Want clearer data in your dashboards?

Enable extra reporting options to get more insights on performance and user behavior.
More clarity = better decisions = more conversions.

✅ Final Reminders

Here’s your Business Profile checklist:

• ✅ Legal business name exactly matches EIN/CP575

• ✅ Current address from official registration

• ✅ Profile photo/logo uploaded

• ✅ Business type selected correctly

• ✅ Number/email verification tools enabled

• ✅ Duplicate contacts only allowed temporarily (if needed)

• ✅ Calendar and contact time zone set appropriately

If you’re unsure about anything, don’t guess.
