If the parameters in the Customer Details section are passed without MiddleName, LastName, and Title, the account will be considered as a Business account. Use the FirstName parameter for the name of the business.
If an account is created using PostCustomerAccount to start on a non-working day, the customer will be billed on the next working day.
