How do I add branches to my business?
If your business has more than one location — for example a head office in one town and a second shop in another — you should add each location as a branch. This helps DESSAA know exactly which of your signage assets belongs to which location.
You must have already registered your business before you can add a branch to it. If you haven't done that yet, see How do I create a business? first.
Step 1: Open "Businesses"
Click Businesses in the sidebar menu on the left (on a phone, tap the ☰ menu icon first).
Step 2: Open the business you want to add a branch to
On the My Businesses page, you'll see a table with a row for each of your registered businesses, showing its name, contact details, sector, and number of assets. Click anywhere on the row of the business you want to add a branch to — the whole row is clickable, not just the name.
This opens that business's details page.
Step 3: Click the "Branches" tab
Near the top of the business details page, just under the business name, you'll see a row of 3 tabs: Overview, Branches, and Assets — Overview is selected by default when the page loads. Click Branches, the middle tab.
If this business has no branches yet, you'll see an empty list — that's normal for a new business.
Step 4: Click "Add Branch"
At the top-right of the Branches tab, click the blue Add Branch button.
A window will pop up in the middle of your screen with a form to fill in.
Step 5: Fill in the branch details
Fill in every box on the form:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Branch name | A name to identify this location, e.g. "Asaba Branch" |
| Phone | A working phone number for this branch |
| An email address for this branch |
Then, under the "Branch Address" heading further down the same form:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Street Address | The physical address of this branch, e.g. "12 Townhall Road" |
| Landmark | A nearby landmark, e.g. "Opposite First Bank" (optional) |
| LGA | Click the dropdown and select the Local Government Area this branch is in |
| Zone | Click the dropdown and select the zone — this list only appears after you've picked an LGA |
Step 6: Click "Add Branch" to save
At the bottom of the form, click the blue Add Branch button to submit it.
- If any field is missing or wrong, a small red message will appear under it — fix it and click Add Branch again.
- If everything is correct, the window will close and your new branch will appear in the list under the Branches tab.
You can repeat Steps 4–6 as many times as you need, to add every location your business operates from. Once a branch exists, DESSAA's field team can link any signage assets at that location directly to it.
