Thanks for sharing.

Our basic modus operandi works at the account level.

When someone signs up with us (or later) they have the choice to choose either 
a personal account or a business account.

If they choose a business account then we consider the account and anything 
associated with it to belong to the business or organisation.

There is an added level of complication in that there is rather large 
difference between a "business" and a limited company. In Ireland you can 
register a "business name" with the companies' office, while in the UK you 
don't need to.

We've had some interesting issues where the organisation / business name 
supplied was truncated and the company in question had splintered, but 
ultimately we rely on the data in the Irish companies' office database.

Of course this makes for a lot of "fun" if the account is setup by an 
individual acting for a business .. Ultimately we have to handle issues on a 
case by case basis when there are disputes.

Michele
