While Rock is all about managing people, there are some scenarios when financial transactions need to be managed for entities like businesses. Don't worry. Rock still has you covered. Businesses can be easily managed under Finance > Businesses.

Managing business giving is also easy. Out of the box, Rock is set to allow business giving. When an individual gives as a business, both the individual and business information and giving history will appear in the Give Now and Giving History screens. If you don't want business giving available for your organization, simply disable this feature by selecting 'no' in the Enable Business Giving option in the Contributions block settings of the Give Now screen. For more information on Rock's business giving options, see the Online Giving section of this guide.

From the business list you can add new businesses, or you can click on a business to edit its details.

Businesses Are People Too
Behind the scenes, businesses are actually stored as special types of person records. You'll find people and businesses have much in common. For instance, you can optionally include businesses as valid values for attributes of type Person.
