Legal Entity

An entity which U.S. law recognizes as having an identity and rights. Legal entities can be either natural persons or registered entities such as businesses and governmental bodies.

A legal entity may be associated with one or more registered entities (the legal entities that are registered with individual states), and may do business under one or more brands. Legal entities may also file taxes using a TIN, hold roles at other businesses, and appear on government watchlists.
