How to switch from a personal to a corporate account

Reviewed on July 15, 2025

The Scaleway console allows you to choose between four account use cases:

• Corporate
• Startup
• Consultant or Freelancer
• Personal Project.

All users are given the possibility to select one or the other option when first signing up for a Scaleway account.

When you select either Corporate, Startup or Consultant or Freelancer, your account is considered of the Corporate type.

When you select Personal Project, your account is considered of the Personal type.

If you signed up for a personal account and need to convert to a corporate one, follow these instructions.
