The business_entities table represents a business unit or brand under your organization. Key data entities in Chargebee Billing (such as customer, subscriptions, invoices, and transactions), along with the associated site configurations, are associated with a business entity. Each Chargebee Billing site has one business entity by default. You may observe multiple business entities in the following scenarios:

• Multiple Business Units: Your business may operate across different regional units with distinct "invoice-from" addresses, usually for tax and bookkeeping purposes. In this case, each unit is represented by a separate business entity.
• Multiple Brands: Your organization may include multiple brands, such as those acquired through mergers or acquisitions. Each brand may be listed as a separate business entity.

Maintaining multiple business entities allows for separation of configurations and data for each business unit or brand, helping you manage billing and revenue data independently.
