What do people actually call “natural” vs “legal” entities in everyday work?
It is a bit a strange question but, I have noticed that different teams and products use very different names for same concepts, and now I am curious what sounds most natural to other people in day to day work. When you need to distinguish between a human customer and a company, what terms do you usually use?
Here are the names I’ve gathered so far.
For humans: Natural Person, Natural Entity, Individual Human, Client.
For a company: Corporate, Business, Legal Person, Legal Entity, Organization. The more strange ones - Juridical Person, Non-natural person (I still don't understand why to talk like that :D)
