# Relationships Between Entity Profiles

## Relationships Between Entity Profiles

There are **two types** of relationships between profiles. There are **business to business** profile relationships, as well as **individual to business** relationships. Below, we have outlined the two types of relationships and specific forms of those relationships.

<Note>
  You can learn more about the types of businesses here: [Types of Business Entities](/lendflow-external/docs/types-of-business-entities)
</Note>

**Business to Business Relationships:**

* Parent to Subsidiary *(example: Alphabet is a parent to Google)*

* Vendor to Customer *(example: Foxconn is a supplier to Apple)*

* Owner to Businesses with Ownership Stake *(there can be multiple businesses with an ownership stake)*

* Owner to Affiliated Businesses *(Businesses which have the same owner)*

**Individual to Business Relationships:**

* Owner to Business *(An individual who owns the business)*

* Applicant/Customer to Business *(example: an individual who applies for a consumer loan)*
