# Choose an account type

> Learn more about the different types of owner accounts you can use with Yorlet Owners.

When using Owners, you can create a variety of accounts for different use cases. There are three account types you can use with Owners:

* Landlord
* Leaseholder
* Supplier

## Landlord accounts

A *Landlord* account should be used when you need to associate a unit with an ultimate beneficial owner. For example, when you manage a property on behalf of a landlord.

## Leaseholder accounts

A *Leaseholder* account should be used when you wish to record the current occupier of a unit, this is usually used to then charge the leaseholder for service charges or ground rent. A leaseholder is someone who owns a property on a lease for a fixed length of time, but the freeholder will own the property outright. A leaseholder is also sometimes called a tenant, but this should not be confused with short-term agreements.

## Supplier accounts

A *Supplier* account should be used when you want to charge collections to owner accounts that need to be paid out to a third party. For example, you might collect a maintenance charge from a landlord’s rental income and pay it out to the contractor who carried out the work.

## Business types

It is important to choose the correct business type when creating an owner as this affects future requirements. They are:

* `individual` - you will need to collect information about the person.
* `company` - you will need to collect information about the company and its beneficial owners. This includes Limited Liability Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships, Trusts, and Public Companies.

## Create an account

You can create a new owner account from the **Owners** tab of your Yorlet [Dashboard](https://dashboard.yorlet.com/owners). You must specify the account type and the business type.
