# Do I need to enter a stock symbol in my SMS brand form?

## Question

Do I need to enter a stock symbol in the SMS brand form when registering my SMS campaign?

## Applies To

- US and Canada, Only
- SMS Campaign Registration
- 8x8 Admin Console

## Answer

The **Stock Exchange** and **Stock Symbol** fields are required only if your business entity is a public company, in which case you would have a stock symbol. If your business entity is not a public company, you should choose a **Private** option from the **Your Brand** > **What type of legal form is the organization?** field.
