Use the Renew a Company Membership tool to renew a company's membership. The membership being renewed is usually current, but expired memberships can also be renewed. The new membership type doesn't have to be the same type as the old membership. You may opt to send the membership through the normal automated membership process, or manually set a specific start date and expedite any moderation or billing steps.
If the membership being renewed (old membership) has expired, the renewed membership (new membership) may go current immediately (assuming it is automatically or manually approved). If the company and its representatives were deactivated or had site access privileges revoked through removal of types, site access is restored as soon as the renewed membership becomes current.

| Approve Membership | This section is displayed if this membership type requires moderator approval. Set whether you would like the membership to be automatically approved or to be sent to the moderation queue. If automatically approved, the membership goes to the 'Approved' state and bypasses the moderation queue. If membership bills are paid and there are no rules that prevent the membership start date from being set to the current date, the membership goes to the 'Current' state and the user can login immediately. If sent for moderation, the membership remains in the moderation queue until approved by an administrator. |

This page displays all the email scheduled to go out for the actions you've just performed.
Email will NOT go out unless you set the 'Send Email' option to 'Yes'. Enable any messages that you do want to go out. You may edit these messages if desired. Membership email is sent out when the membership goes current.
You have just renewed this company's membership and the information is displayed for you to review. This membership is probably in a pending state, as indicated in the 'Membership State' field. If you would like to see whether automated email notification of this membership renewal is scheduled, see the View Email Schedule tool.
Click the Membership Status Page link if you would like to see the Membership Status page. This page is displayed in a new window, so you can copy the URL and email it to the member.
