# Entity

An `Entity` is an organization with its own legal identity. An `Entity` is the parent of `Account` objects, and one `Entity` can own many `Account` objects.

## Root Entity

A single **Root `Entity`** represents your own business, one per environment (`test` and `live`). Fintoc creates the Root `Entity` automatically once you finish onboarding in `live` mode. `Account` objects under your Root `Entity` hold your company's money.

## Entities for your customers

You can create `Entity` objects for your customers when you need transfers to show their legal name on the receipt, for example, a marketplace paying sellers under each seller's Mexican tax ID (RFC) or Chilean tax ID (RUT).

Creating a customer `Entity` requires a Know Your Customer (KYC) review by Fintoc compliance, typically under 1 business day. For Mexican entities, you can create the `Entity` and run the review by API; see [Onboard an Entity by API](https://docs.fintoc.com/docs/onboard-an-entity-by-api). See [Create more accounts](/docs/transfers/manage-accounts/creating-more-accounts) for the Dashboard flow.
