Add or change a business owner

Make a partner a co-owner, or hand the business over entirely — ownership is a role several people can hold, set from Settings → Team.

Pro
This is available on the Growing Business or Established Entrepreneur plans

Bringing in a partner, or handing the business on? In stub, ownership is a role, not a single seat — a business can have several owners at once, so sharing or transferring control is just a role change. No transfer wizard, no password handover.

Only an owner can change roles. Roles live in the Team member panel.

Make someone an owner

On SettingsTeam, click the person's name, choose Owner, and Save. They now have the same access you do.

One catch: they must have accepted their invitation first. A member still showing Pending can't be made an owner.

A business can have several owners

stub does not have a single "primary owner" that gets handed over. Ownership is a role, and more than one person can hold it. To transfer a business, make the other person an owner first, then step back yourself.

Step back to Editor

On SettingsTeam, click your own name, choose Editor, and Save.

Note: If you are the only owner, stub blocks this and tells you to assign another owner first. That guard exists so a business can never end up with nobody who can manage it.

Hand a business over completely

  1. Make the other person an Owner.
  2. Ask them to confirm they can reach SettingsBank Accounts and SettingsBilling.
  3. Check who is paying — see Manage subscription.
  4. Change your own role to Editor, or have the new owner remove you.
Tip: Do the handover while you are both available. Once you are no longer an owner you cannot undo it yourself.
