   Business Entity Recognition is only available in the Europe (Frankfurt) region.

   If this is your first time accessing your trial account, you’ll have to configure your account by choosing a region. Your user profile will be set up for you automatically.

   Wait till your account is set up and ready to go. Your global account, your subaccount, your organization, and your space are launched. This may take a couple of minutes.

   Choose Continue.
