# Business Onboarding

> Some CDP APIs require business onboarding. Learn why, how, and which endpoints become available after onboarding.

## Overview

CDP offers two distinct sets of APIs that serve different use cases:

* **Non-custodial APIs**: User Wallets, API Key Wallets, Onramp, and related tools. Available to any CDP entity immediately after signing up.
* **Custodial APIs**: Transfers between custodied accounts, trading orders, payment acceptance, financial reporting, and more. These require a verified business account linked to CDP.

## How to onboard

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a CDP entity">
    Sign up at [portal.cdp.coinbase.com](https://portal.cdp.coinbase.com) and create your entity. At this point you have access to the self-custody APIs only.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign up for Coinbase Prime or Coinbase Business">
    * **Coinbase Business**: Sign up at [coinbase.com/business](https://www.coinbase.com/business) if you are a small to mid-sized business.
    * **Coinbase Prime**: Apply at [prime.coinbase.com](https://prime.coinbase.com) if you are a large organization or institution.

    Both processes require business documentation such as incorporation certificates, beneficial owner information, and proof of address.

    After signing up, all the custodial API endpoints become available to access.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Link your account to CDP to leverage the custodial API endpoints">
    Once your Prime or Business account is approved, switch to CDP and navigate to the **Accounts** page in the CDP portal:

    1. Click **Link account**.
    2. Select the accounts you want to make available in CDP.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start using the custodial APIs">
    Once you've done business onboarding and have linked an account, all the custodial APIs are ready for you to fully leverage.
  </Step>
</Steps>
