After this three-page form is completed and submitted, the user will get a result message. Either this message shows a successful result saying that the request will be sent to the administrator/s (please refer to Admin's account and email setup and to SMTP's host setup to ensure this process works ok) or the message will show the reason of failure so the requesting user is able to complete/correct the missing/wrong information pressing the Back button.

The request for sign up creates a new entry either for business or for individual, plus a login account at the moment the form is successfully submitted, but it is private (hidden, only the Admin can see it). If the Admin approves the request, it becomes public. If the Admin rejects the request, the new entry and the login account are deleted.
