# CreateCompany

## Permission Scope

company

## Overview

CreateCompany establishes a new legal entity in the system in DRAFT status. The command accepts the company's legal name, and optionally tax identification number, registration number, base currency, and registered address fields. Companies are created in DRAFT to allow configuration and review before activation.

This command supports initial system setup and multi-company expansion scenarios.

## Business Rules

- Legal name is required and must be non-empty
- Company is always created in DRAFT status
- Base currency, if provided, must reference a valid active Currency from the primitives module
- Tax identification number and registration number are optional at creation
- Registered address fields are optional at creation (required before activation)
