A billed company can be renamed. However, the terms are easily confused — in Flexi, these are two different things:
What you want to change | Where to do it |
The company name in the company list (how the company is named when selecting it after startup) | Select Company dialog → Rename button |
The company's business name that is printed on documents | Company → Settings → Company tab → Name field |
Renaming in the company list
Open the Select Company dialog — it appears when you start the application, or you can open it via the Company → Select Company menu.
Select the company in the list and press the Rename button.
Enter the new name and confirm.
ℹ️ This name is not carried over to documents — it only changes the company's label in the list.
What permissions you need
Renaming is available only to a user who has one of the server permissions related to companies — Create companies or Delete companies. You can set these in Tools → Users in Company → user detail → Login Credentials tab → Server Permissions button.
⚠️ Server permissions can only be set by the main administrator.
The database identifier does not change
After renaming, the company's database identifier remains the same. This is intentional — it ensures that existing API integrations referencing the identifier continue to work. For more details, see the article The company's database identifier did not change when the company name was changed.
