In the New Money Company Metal API, all entities—whether individuals or businesses—are referred to as "companies."
The Metal platform defines three types of companies:
Individual: Represents a single person who can receive payments on the platform.
Business: Represents a registered legal entity eligible to receive payments.
Managing Business: Represents a legal entity that can manage and control other companies (Individuals or Businesses) on the platform. This is ideal for organizations overseeing multiple contractors, subsidiaries, or accounts.
A company object looks like this:
