# Update business representative

`PUT /v3/profiles/{profileId}/business-profile/business-representative`

Update or transfer the Business Representative for the specified Business Profile.

Set `updateContext` to `UPDATE_DETAILS` to update the existing Business Representative's details, or `TRANSFER_OF_AUTHORISATION` to transfer authority of the Business Profile to a new Business Representative.

{% admonition type="info" %}
If the Business Representative has been verified then there are restrictions on what information is allowed to change.
{% /admonition %}

{% admonition type="info" %}
If this Business Representative is shared across multiple Business Profiles, then changes will be reflected for all of the Business Profiles.
{% /admonition %}

When using `TRANSFER_OF_AUTHORISATION`, this will overwrite the existing Business Representative. The new Business Representative will need to be verified for KYC purposes.
