Cases can contain two different types of entities: companies and/or people. These represent the entities you wish to gather information on for making informed business decisions. For example:

• A lending company processing a loan application for a business will want to gather information about the company who it is considering lending to. Additionally, they might seek information about the people who serve as directors of that company.
• A mortgage broker processing a mortgage application for a couple will want to gather information on each of the people applying for the mortgage. If those people are self-employed, the broker may also want to gather information on the companies that they manage.
• A debt financing company assessing a credit limit a corporate credit card for a business will want to gather information about the company they are lending to. The financing company may also want to gather information about the people who are the directors of that company.

You have the flexibility to include as many companies and people as needed within a single case.
