Entity management in Commenda is the central record of every legal entity a company operates — including its business information, registered addresses, key persons (directors, officers, shareholders, authorized signatories), ownership structure, bank accounts, government identifiers, and registrations. Commenda maintains this data in a structured, searchable format so finance teams always have an accurate, up-to-date view of their corporate structure.
Commenda supports 3,500+ entity types across 100+ countries, including the most common business structures such as:
  • Corporations (C-Corp, S-Corp equivalents globally)
  • Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
  • Partnerships (LP, LLP, and general partnerships)
  • Branch offices
  • Subsidiaries
  • Holding companies
  • Representative offices
  • Sole proprietorships
This allows companies to manage their entire global entity structure in one platform.
Yes. Commenda includes a corporate structure mapping feature that allows you to define ownership relationships between entities and visualize the full parent-subsidiary hierarchy of your corporate group.
A key person in Commenda is any individual associated with a legal entity in an official capacity — such as a director, officer, shareholder, beneficial owner, or authorized signatory. Commenda tracks key person information at the entity level, including their role, tenure, and any associated documents.
Yes. Commenda stores and tracks government-issued identifiers for each entity by jurisdiction, including:
  • EIN / Tax ID (U.S. and global equivalents)
  • VAT / GST registration numbers
  • Company registration numbers
  • Business license numbers
  • State / provincial tax IDs
  • Employer / payroll tax IDs
  • Import / export registration numbers (e.g., EORI)
  • Withholding tax IDs and other jurisdiction-specific identifiers
All identifiers are centralized and tied to each entity for easy access, compliance tracking, and reporting.
Commenda allows you to record and manage bank account details at the entity level, so financial information is stored alongside the rest of the entity’s data rather than in separate spreadsheets or systems.
Yes. Commenda supports team-based access with role-based permissions, so Controllers, finance staff, legal teams, and external advisors can each be given appropriate levels of access to entity data.
Commenda computes UBOs automatically from the shareholdings recorded on each entity. A natural person becomes a UBO when their direct or indirect ownership crosses the threshold for the entity’s incorporation country — typically 25% in the EU, US, UK, Canada, and Australia, and lower in many emerging markets. Commenda also supports:
  • Control-only UBOs — individuals who exercise significant control without holding equity
  • Inherited UBOs — UBOs of a corporate shareholder that propagate down to the entity below, with options to auto-inherit, opt out, or pick specific people
See the Ownership and beneficial owners page for details.
