Typically for an investment, a company will take care of the so-called Entity Management. Usually, it is the legal department of a company that is responsible for keeping its subsidiary and other company information up-to-date.

Corporations are living entities and typically there are continuous group structure changes, as well as those commonly occurring in M&A activities. The Entity Management is a place where this information is collected and stored. This might include, for example, essential information about:

• Ownership structures
  
• The responsible key employees and managers
  
• Board member line-up and contact information
  
• Procuration holders
  
• Other power positions
  

The key here is that this information must be easily available to the entire organization, anytime and anywhere.

Some common uses of a Entity Management are:

• When a manager/director leaves a company or changes position, it is crucial to quickly see which other companies this person has a position with.
  
• Who are the procuration holders?
  
• Information about a specific company or its subsidiaries.
  
• What are the ownership structures of a certain company?
  
• A place for other official registration certifications.
