Inside that account, you run one or more **businesses**. The distinction matters: most plans support multiple businesses per organization, and each business has its own profile, products, locations, and Stripe connection. If you operate a single business, the difference is mostly invisible — your one business sits inside your one organization, and you rarely think about it. If you operate several (an agency with multiple service lines, a holding company with separate brands, or a contractor who runs both a roofing and a solar business under one team), the multi-business model is the spine of how Bizzy organizes everything else. ## What a Business Is A business represents a real-world commercial entity. It has: * A **profile** — name, industries, description, and a flexible field for whatever else you need to record. * A set of **offerings** — the products and services it sells. * **Online presences** — websites, social accounts, marketplace listings. * **Physical presences** — locations, addresses, service areas. * An optional **Stripe connection** — its own connected Stripe account for payments. A business is the customer-facing identity Bizzy grounds itself in: when an agent drafts a reply or an automation composes an email on your behalf, the business profile, offerings, and presences tell the AI *which* business it's speaking for. Records like contacts, customers, and messages live at the organization level today; business-level scoping for agents and automations is on the roadmap. ## Business vs. Organization The two concepts are easy to conflate. The short version: | | **Organization** | **Business** | | --------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | **What it is** | Your Bizzy account | A commercial entity you run inside the account | | **Holds** | Users, billing, settings | Profile, offerings, presences, Stripe | | **How many you have** | One per account | One or more | | **Used for** | Access control, subscription | Customer-facing identity, payments, AI grounding | The organization is the *container*. The business is the *thing the world sees*. ## Profile The business profile is what your AI grounds itself in when it speaks on your behalf. It includes: * **Name** — the public-facing name. * **Industries** — one or more industries (e.g. roofing, HVAC, professional services). * **Description** — a free-form pitch the AI can lean on when drafting messages. * **Custom data** — a flexible field for anything else you want recorded. When an agent writes an email or an automation drafts a reply, it reads the business profile to stay on-brand and on-topic. ## Offerings An **offering** is something the business sells. It's tagged as either a **product** (something tangible or fixed) or a **service** (something delivered). Each offering has a name and description; together they define what the business actually does. Offerings power AI features that need to know your catalogue — for example, when an inbound message asks "do you do gutter cleaning?" the agent needs to know whether the answer is yes. ## Presences Presences answer the question "where is this business in the world?" — both digitally and physically. **Online presences** capture the digital footprint: a primary website, social media profiles, marketplace listings, review pages. Each entry has a type, provider, URL, and description. **Physical presences** capture the bricks-and-mortar side: an office, a warehouse, a service area. Each entry has a name, description, and address. Together they let agents and automations answer location-aware questions — "what's your address?", "do you serve this zip code?", "what's your Yelp page?" — with truthful, current data. ## Stripe Connect Each business can connect **its own** Stripe account through Stripe Connect. The connection lives at the business level, not the organization level — meaning two businesses inside the same organization can independently link to two different Stripe accounts, with separate customers, invoices, and sync schedules. Once connected, Bizzy keeps the business's customers and transactions in sync with its Stripe account. The connection has three sync modes: * **`off`** — Stripe is not connected, or sync is disabled. * **`one_way`** — data flows from Stripe into Bizzy only (a read-only mirror). * **`two_way`** — data flows in both directions. You can switch modes and trigger manual syncs from the business settings page. ## Putting It Together ```mermaid theme={null} graph TD O[Organization] --> B1[Business: Acme Roofing] O --> B2[Business: Acme Solar] B1 --> P1[Profile] B1 --> O1[Offerings] B1 --> N1[Online Presences] B1 --> H1[Physical Presences] B1 --> S1[Stripe Account] B2 --> P2[Profile] B2 --> O2[Offerings] B2 --> N2[Online Presences] B2 --> H2[Physical Presences] B2 --> S2[Stripe Account] ``` One organization.
