Businesses

A business in Oblifee is a legal entity - the company that actually places packaging on the market and carries the obligation. This is where you record who that entity is, where it is registered and operates, and who is responsible for its compliance. Owners and admins manage businesses.

Each business shows its country, product and volume counts, and opens to a full identity form.

Adding a business

1. Open the user menu and choose Businesses.
2. In the add row at the bottom, enter the business name, its country (two-letter code, for example GB), its currency (for example GBP) and its sales channels.
3. Select Add. The business appears in the list, ready for its full details.

The business form

Open a business to complete its identity. It has three parts.

Identity

Field	What it is
Name	The trading or display name of the business.
Country	The home country, set when you add the business.
Currency	The currency fees are shown in for this business.
Channels	Whether it sells B2B, direct-to-consumer, or both.

Legal entity

Field	What it is
Legal entity	The registered legal name, if different from the trading name.
Company number	The official registration number.

Addresses

A business has a registered address and an operating address.

• Enter the registered address.
• If the business operates from the same place, leave Operating address same as registered ticked and the operating address mirrors the registered one.
• To record a different operating address, untick that box and the operating address field appears.

Select Save to store your changes.

Key contacts and the responsible regulatory contact

Each business keeps a list of key contacts - the people who matter for its compliance.

Key contacts, with one person marked as responsible for regulatory compliance.

1. Open a business and expand Key contacts.
2. Select Add contact.
3. Enter the person's name, and optionally their role, email and phone.
4. Tick Responsible for regulatory compliance to mark this person as the one accountable for the business's compliance.
5. Save.

:::note One responsible contact per business Only one contact can be the responsible regulatory contact at a time. Marking a new person as responsible clears the flag from whoever held it before. :::

To remove a contact, use the delete (trash) icon on its row.

Why keep several businesses in one workspace

A workspace can hold as many businesses as you need. Keep them separate when:

• You operate group companies or multiple trading entities, each of which registers and reports in its own right.
• You want compliance figures attributed to the correct legal entity.
• Different parts of the organisation sell through different channels.

You can work across all of them at once, or scope the whole app to one business using the business picker in the top bar.

Turning a business off

Every business has an active toggle. Switching a business off removes it from selectors, dashboards and syncs everywhere, but keeps all its data - and the switch reverses cleanly. Use this to park an entity you are not currently reporting for, without losing anything.

Deleting a business

Deleting is permanent and removes the business together with its products, packaging, volumes and registrations.

1. Open the business and select Delete.
2. Oblifee shows a confirmation screen with the exact counts of what will be removed - products, components, volumes and registrations.
3. Confirm to delete, or step back if the counts are not what you expect.

:::warning Delete removes data; toggling off does not If you only want to stop reporting for a business for now, switch it off instead of deleting it. Off is reversible; delete is not. :::
