Overview
Business-to-business associations in Legl allow you to link one business to another to represent how they are related. This is useful when onboarding clients with complex corporate structures, such as group companies, holding arrangements, or trust-owned businesses.
This feature is used by compliance and onboarding teams who need to track and manage entity relationships alongside their AML and KYB workflows.
What you can use business-to-business associations for
You can use business-to-business associations in Legl to:
Link a subsidiary to its parent company
Associate a business with a trust or holding structure it is part of
Represent corporate group structures where multiple entities are related

How business-to-business associations work
When you associate two businesses in Legl, a link is created between their records. This allows you to see how different businesses are connected within your contact database.
You can create associations manually from a business's contact record. Once created, the association is visible from both business records so you have a complete view of the relationship.
ℹ️ Note
Business-to-business associations represent relationships between entities. They do not replace individual AML checks or KYB compliance workflows, which remain separate.
