For more information consult [this HubSpot article](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/marketplace/install-apps-in-the-hubspot-marketplace).   ### Step 1 - Start the installation The app is listed in the HubSpot marketplace. You can use this direct link: [https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/listing/business-essentials.](https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/listing/business-essentials)   Click **Install** to, well, install the app.  ![lbe\_marketplace\_install](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/lbe_marketplace_install.png?width=1752&height=1428&name=lbe_marketplace_install.png) ### Step 2 - Connect to Leapware Business Essentials This step asks for a Sign In to Leapware Business Essentials. Clicking on Sign in opens the start of the installation process of the app itself.   ![lbe\_marketplace\_connect](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/lbe_marketplace_connect.png?width=1075&height=847&name=lbe_marketplace_connect.png) ### Step 3 -Installation welcome screen Press continue to proceed with the installation. ![01-welcome-cropped](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/01-welcome-cropped.png?width=861&height=563&name=01-welcome-cropped.png) ### Step 4 - Choose your package Select **Netherlands** under Business Registry Data, the only option in this first release. Here you can see: - **1,000 credits per month**, included in the plan (unused credits expire at the end of each billing period) - **Your first month is free**, and it includes your full 1,000 credits, not a reduced trial amount - An optional **Bulk Credit Pack** add-on, €400 for 10,000 additional credits, valid for 12 months, worth adding upfront if you're planning a large one-off enrichment run (for example, backfilling an existing company database) - Toggle **Annual Plan** to save 20% on the monthly rate Click **Continue**. ![02-choose-package-cropped](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/02-choose-package-cropped.png?width=875&height=1060&name=02-choose-package-cropped.png) ### Step 5 - Enter your contact details Fill in: - **Contact person**, first name, last name, email address, phone number - **Company information**, company name, VAT/tax number (if applicable), and address Please enter a VAT when you are based outside of the Netherlands. ![03-contact-details-cropped](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/03-contact-details-cropped.png?width=875&height=1060&name=03-contact-details-cropped.png) ### Step 6 -Review summary and set preferences This step recaps your contact details and lets you configure a few things before connecting: - **App language**, the language used in the Business Essentials interface (English by default) - **VAT Verification**, an optional enrichment that validates a company's VAT number against official sources. It uses an extra credit per lookup (1 credit for Business Registry Data alone, 2 credits if VAT Verification is included), since it requires an additional lookup. You can leave this off by default and enable it per company later, or turn it on by default here. \[Note: this feature is not yet available in the beta\] . - **Domestic country**, shown as Netherlands, since that's the only registry source in this release ![03-setup-cropped](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/03-setup-cropped.png?width=667&height=763&name=03-setup-cropped.png) ### Step 7 - Confirm the custom properties Check '**I agree to add custom properties to HubSpot Company objects**'. Business Essentials organizes what it adds into four property groups: - LBE – Business Registry – Identification - LBE – Business Registry – Core Data - LBE – Business Registry – Contact - LBE – Business Registry – Provenance These are additive, they don't touch your existing HubSpot fields, and you can manually sync them against your existing company records at any time after installation. ![Step 5 setup custom properties](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/Step%205%20setup%20custom%20properties.png?width=790&height=354&name=Step%205%20setup%20custom%20properties.png) ### Step 8 -Connect to HubSpot Choose the HubSpot account you're installing into, then review the permissions Business Essentials is requesting: - Create, view, and manage workflows - View, create, delete, and update company records and their properties - View basic account details (primary domain, user emails) and team information *(The app needs the create/update/delete scope in order to update the information on the custom properties that are updated by the app. The app itself will not use Create or Delete functionality)* ![lbe\_marketplace\_connecting\_2](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/lbe_marketplace_connecting_2.png?width=1069&height=849&name=lbe_marketplace_connecting_2.png) ### Step 9 - Add the card to the Company detail view Installing the app doesn't put the card on your company records automatically, this one-time step does. Without it, there's nowhere in HubSpot to actually see or use Business Essentials yet. ## Step 9.1 Go to **Settings → Data Management → Objects**, select **Companies** from the object dropdown, then open the **Record Customization** tab. Open the view you want to edit (typically **Default view**).  ![01-settings-objects-companies](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/01-settings-objects-companies.png?width=2812&height=1450&name=01-settings-objects-companies.png) ## Step 9.2  In the layout editor, click **+** above the middle column to open **Add middle column cards**, then switch to the **Card library** tab.  ![02-add-middle-column-cards](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/02-add-middle-column-cards.png?width=2812&height=1450&name=02-add-middle-column-cards.png) ## Step 9.3  Use the **All card types** filter and check **Apps**. This narrows the library to easily locate the single card Business Essentials provides: **Business Registry Data**.  ![03-filter-by-apps](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/03-filter-by-apps.png?width=2812&height=1450&name=03-filter-by-apps.png) ## Step 9.4  Click **Add card** next to Business Registry Data. It's confirmed with an **Added** state, and appears in your layout labeled with its source app, **Leapware Business Essentials**.  ![04-business-registry-data-added](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/04-business-registry-data-added.png?width=2812&height=1450&name=04-business-registry-data-added.png) ## Step 9.5  Drag the card to where you want it in the middle column, most teams place it at the top, above Overview, since it's usually the first thing you'll act on for a new or unqualified company. Click **Save**. The card now appears on every company record using that view, ready to search and enrich.   ![05-layout-editor-final](https://leapware.app/hs-fs/hubfs/05-layout-editor-final.png?width=2812&height=1450&name=05-layout-editor-final.png) ## You are all set.
