Business entities

In many accounting and financing softwares, all the finances are happening under a business. Even for personal use cases, you can create a self business to store the transactions under that, to make reporting easier.

Note: Transactions do not need to be under a business in the design.

Create a new business

You can use this POST endpoint to create a new business, by passing name and legalType of the business as strings.

Also, you can pass more details about the business in data json object. It should be a flat json (nested is not accepted) and can both accept string values and numeric values. This will be normalized in database and can have reporting later on. (In comparison with storing only json and loosing that option).
