# Creating an Organization

## As a New User

After you create an account, you will have the option to either create a new organisation or [join an existing organization](https://docs.nemopi.com/fundamentals/accounts-and-organizations/joining-an-existing-organization).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Remember: Every buoy is tied to an organization**&#x20;

Therefore, you will always be required to create an organization, even if its just you.
{% endhint %}
