Business structures

business_structure is the legal entity type of a business. Provide it when you create or update a verification for a business entity. This includes a Know Your Business (KYB) verification or a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification for a creator who operates through a company. Pick the structure that matches the business’s legal form in its country of incorporation.
