# Register as a business

This document explains why business registration is needed and how to register.

Business registration is not required, but it is required to use in-app purchases, Toss Pay, Promotions, Biz Wallet, and Toss Login. 

However, with in-app ads, you can issue an ad ID and start monetizing without business registration.

Both individual sole proprietors and corporate businesses are possible. First [register your business in Hometax](https://toss.im/apps-in-toss/blog/business_registration)please.

### Things you must know before business registration

* The business category on the business registration certificate must match the category of services provided in the mini app. If the categories differ, mini app launch may be restricted.
* Business information is registered in the 'My Info' menu in the Apps in Toss console > Workspace.
* If you submit the documents that match your business type and request review, it takes about 1–2 business days.

### Grace period for business registration for in-app ads

When monetizing in-app ads, you can defer registering business and settlement information.

* If the cumulative estimated revenue in the workspace is less than 5,000 KRW, you can defer registering business and settlement information.
* If business and settlement information has not been registered even after cumulative estimated revenue reaches 5,000 KRW, a grace period of 5 business days is given.
* If registration and approval of business and settlement information are not completed within the grace period, the mini app will be temporarily hidden.
* Once business registration and settlement information approval are completed, you can make the mini app visible again.

  * Failure to file value-added tax
  * Penalty tax for not issuing tax invoices
