# Create and manage entities

> Set up individuals, businesses and UBOs as entities for continuous risk monitoring and AML screening.

Entities are the people and businesses you do business with. Each entity has a profile with its risk score, linked checks and screening activity, so you can monitor risk over time. See [Entity 360](https://doc.youverify.co/concepts/entity-360.md) to learn more.

There are three entity types: **Individual**, **Business** and **UBOs** (ultimate beneficial owners).

## Create an entity

**1. Open Entities**

Click **Entities** in the left sidebar.
