A business in Slant represents a company, firm, or organization. Businesses help you track the organizations your clients work for, the firms your professional contacts belong to, and other companies relevant to your practice.

What businesses track

Each business record stores:
  • Name — The company or organization name (required)
  • Website — Company website URL
  • Industry — The business sector
  • Tax ID — Federal tax identification number

How businesses connect to other records

Businesses connect to your data in two ways:
  • Other contacts — A contact can be linked directly to a business. For example, linking your CPA contact to their accounting firm.
  • Employment — People (within households or contacts) can have employment records that tie them to a business. This tracks current and past positions.
