A Company is a self-contained legal business entity that can have one or more locations (Shops) associated with it. However, a location can only be linked to one company. For instance, if a business has multiple types of shops like High Street shops, Concession shops, Franchise shops, and plans for future Outlet shops, it would make sense to create four separate companies and associate each shop with exactly one location.
