# Organisations

If you expect that you will have parts/entire processes completed by external organisations then you will want to create these before you start building processes.&#x20;

Organisations simply need a name and description of what they do:

These can then be assigned work as a part of a process as outlined earlier in [**Step Set Up**](../building-processes/steps).
