    Call out holding companies, SPVs, IP-licensing entities, or trusts so the structure's intent is legible.

  4. 04Export for advisors

    Export PNG/SVG for counsel, tax advisors, or investor diligence.

FAQ

Questions about entity structure templates

What is a legal entity structure diagram?

A diagram showing the ownership and control relationships between companies, trusts, and funds — including jurisdictions and ownership percentages. Used in corporate law, tax planning, and M&A.

How is it different from an org chart?

An org chart shows people and reporting lines. An entity structure diagram shows legal ownership between companies and other vehicles — the corporate graph, not the management graph.

Can it show ownership percentages and jurisdictions?

Yes — label each ownership edge with the stake (e.g., 60%) and tag each entity with its jurisdiction (Delaware, Cayman, etc.) so the structure reads at a glance.
