How to determine your Business Type and Structure

During onboarding, users must provide information about their business including Business Type and Structure. If you filed documents to register your business with a government agency, your Business Type is likely Company. Otherwise, it is likely individual. Consult a professional for assistance if you are unsure.


If you are not the business owner, ensure you consult with them to determine the correct Business Type and Business Structure.

If you are the business owner and unsure, consult the guidance below:

If you filed documentation to register your business with a government agency

Your Business Type is likely to be Company, and your Business Structure would depend on the specific documents you filed.

If you are unsure of your Business Structure, refer to the documents you filed to register your business, or consult your lawyer or tax professional.

If you have incorporated your legal entity and are a registered nonprofit or charity, your Business Type is likely to be Nonprofit organization.

If you have not filed paperwork to register as a business entity

Your Business Type is likely to be Individual, and you won't need to select a Business Structure.
