One of the following: * `PROSPECT` – a potential customer, used for information-gathering and disclosures. * `ACTIVE` – is an integrator defined status. Integrators should set a business to active if they believe the person to be qualified for conducting business. Synctera will combine this status with other statuses such a verification to determine if the business is eligible for specific actions such as initiating transactions or issuing a card. * `FROZEN` – business's actions are blocked for security, legal, or other reasons. * `SANCTION` – business is on a sanctions list and should be carefully monitored. * `DISSOLVED` – an inactive status indicating a business entity has filed articles of dissolution or a certificate of termination to terminate its existence. * `CANCELLED` – an inactive status indicating that a business entity has filed a cancellation or has failed to file its periodic report after notice of forfeiture of its rights to do business. * `SUSPENDED` – an inactive status indicating that the business entity has lost the right to operate in it's registered jurisdiction. * `MERGED` – an inactive status indicating that the business entity has terminated existence by merging into another entity. * `INACTIVE` – an inactive status indicating that the business entity is no longer active. * `CONVERTED` – An inactive status indicating that the business entity has been converted to another type of business entity in the same jurisdiction. enum: - PROSPECT - ACTIVE - FROZEN - SANCTION - DISSOLVED - CANCELLED - SUSPENDED - MERGED - INACTIVE - CONVERTED type: string structure: description: Business's legal structure. enum: - SOLE_PROPRIETORSHIP - PARTNERSHIP - LLC - CORPORATION - S_CORPORATION - NON_PROFIT - OTHER example: CORPORATION type: string tenant: $ref: '#/components/schemas/tenant_id' trade_names: description: >- All registered 'doing business as' (DBA) or trade names for this business. example: - Apex - Apex LLC - CorporationID#77231 items: type: string type: array verification_last_run: description: Date and time KYB verification was last run on the business. example: '2010-05-06T12:23:34.321Z' format: date-time readOnly: true type: string verification_status: $ref: '#/components/schemas/verification_status' website: description: Business's website. example: https://example.com type: string type: object party_vendor_info: description: Vendor information for external account management systems properties: vendor_data: $ref: '#/components/schemas/party_vendor_data' vendor_type: $ref: '#/components/schemas/party_vendor_type' required: - vendor_type - vendor_data type: object business: allOf: - required: - status - is_customer - $ref: '#/components/schemas/base' description: Represents a business customer. type: object error: description: >- Synctera error responses in API v0 follow [RFC 7807](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7807). Following that standard, the field for a machine-readable "error code" in API v0 is `type`. In our future API v1, we are phasing out RFC 7807 and adopting a custom error format. That format will be documented in our API v1 spec. But you may see some v0 error responses with a machine-readable `code` field while we are making the transition from v0 to v1. properties: code: description: >- An optional “sneak preview” of our future API v1 error responses. This is provided to give integrators a chance to work with our future error codes. Error codes for the same error may change between v0 and v1. example: BAD_REQUEST_BODY type: string detail: description: | A human-readable string explaining this particular error. example: 'missing required fields: first_name, dob' type: string status: description: the HTTP status code for this response example: 400 type: integer title: description: > A human-readable string for this general category of error, which corresponds 1-to-1 with error types (`title` is the human-readable version of `type`). There can be multiple distinct titles for the same HTTP status code, and the same `title` can result in many different `detail` strings. This field will be removed in API v1. example: Bad Request Body type: string type: description: > A machine-readable string that identifies the error for programmatic use. This is a URI, i.e. a globally unique identifier. It is _not_ necessarily a URL, so do not expect it to resolve to a web page. You can use this whole string as an error code, or just everything after the last slash.
