The business_entity resource represents a business unit or brand under your organization. Key resources in Chargebee Billing (such as customer, subscriptions, invoices, and transactions) along with the associated site configurations, fall under a business entity. Each Chargebee Billing site has one business entity by default. You may create multiple business entities in the following scenarios:
- Multiple Business Units: You may be running your business under different regional units with different "invoice-from" addresses. This is usually done to manage taxation and bookkeeping. In such a case, you may create a business entity for each business unit.
- Multiple Brands: You may have multiple brands within your business, such as those acquired via mergers and acquisitions. You may create a business entity for each brand.
Creating multiple business entities lets you separate configuration and data for your business units or brands so that you can manage their billing and revenue operations independently.
