## Step 1: Business Account Creation

At this step you will collect the required KYC information for account creation from your users within your application. Then send this information to sFOX to create an account. 

### Create Business Account

{% content-ref url="/pages/wkNmtRoP8TnEPRcONW4u" %}
[Create End User](/connect/rest-api/end-users/create-end-user.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Step 2: Verification

Upon successfully creating an account, sFOX will send OTP codes directly to the email of the account. You will collect this code from your user and send it to sFOX for verification.

{% hint style="info" %}
Business accounts are only required to complete email OTP code verification.
{% endhint %}

### Step 2(a): Email Verification

#### Request Email OTP Code

Trigger sending an OTP verification code to the email of your user's account. Then collect this code from your user in your application.

{% content-ref url="/spaces/SqieKWDmfvEO9Y0sbJUb/pages/XNT45pXgriVUgj6rlFv5" %}
[Create Verification Code](/connect/rest-api/end-users/create-verification-code.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

#### Verify Email OTP Code

Once you have collected the OTP code from your user, send it to sFOX to complete email verification.

{% content-ref url="/spaces/SqieKWDmfvEO9Y0sbJUb/pages/ikk27VB9fUmTgYG5FV3L" %}
[Confirm Verification Code](/connect/rest-api/end-users/confirm-verification-code.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Step 3: Monitor for and Complete Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) Requests

In some cases, sFOX will require additional information about a user of your app beyond the initial account creation KYC information.

In these cases, an EDD request will be triggered, which will specifiy which user needs to complete the request and the information required.

You will then share this information with sFOX to complete the EDD request
