Organizations and Brands in Hectile

One legal business, two operating Brands

Meridian Ventures Ltd. is one company that trades as a design studio and as a marketing agency. In Hectile that is one Organization with two Brands — one subscription, one team, one customer list.

What a Brand controls

Each Brand presents itself to customers independently. Documents issued under a Brand carry that Brand’s identity and count in that Brand’s sequence.

What the Organization shares

• Customers are Organization-level. Riverside Trading LLC can be billed by Brightline Design one month and Harbor Marketing the next without a second record.
• Saved Items and Services are available to every Brand’s documents.
• Team members belong to the Organization and work across all its Brands. Membership is not restricted to a single Brand.
• Tax profiles and legal details belong to the Organization, because the tax identity is the legal business, not the trading name.
• The subscription covers the whole Organization. Unlimited Brands are included on the paid plan; the trial includes one Primary Brand.

When you need another Organization

Brands are for one legal business trading under several names. A separate legal entity — a different company, with its own registration and tax identity — needs its own Organization and its own subscription, even if the people are the same.
