# Entity

This page explains how `Entity` objects represent organizations and relate to `Account` objects in Fintoc's data model. An `Entity` represents an organization with distinct legal rights. Each `Entity` can have multiple accounts, each with one or more account numbers.

You can create an `Entity` for each customer or user, depending on your use case. Fintoc may require you to complete a Know Your Customer process for each `Entity`. Fintoc reviews and approves your verification processes and third-party providers.

# Root Entity

The Root Entity is a special `Entity` that represents your business. Each `Account` under the Root Entity holds your company's money. For more information, see [Root accounts](/v2023-11-15/guides/transfers/transfers-overview/v2-transfers-account-data-model).

Your organization can have one Root Entity in the `sandbox` environment and one in the `live` environment. Fintoc automatically creates your Root Entity in `live` mode after you register and complete onboarding.
