A business-establishment is a geographically localized unit of the organization structure.

It belongs to a legal-entity. A legal-entity may have one (and only one) business-establishment set as its headquarters.

Business-establishments are an essential resource of the enterprise model, as they are the fundamental units of access rights scoping. As such, most objects are either directly or indirectly attached to a business-establishment.

Employees are attached to a business-establishment through their job-position.
