# EntityGroups

`EntityGroups` is a nested enumeration of `Enums` that classifies the organizational/legal-entity structure of a policyholder (corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, partnership, sole owner, or other). Unlike most sibling enumerations in `Enums`, it has no paired `Convert*` function in this class, so its mapping to any persisted database code is not defined here.*

## Purpose
- Represent the fixed set of policyholder entity structures used for classification/reporting purposes.*
- Provide an `Others` catch-all value for entity structures outside the enumerated set.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Policy`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Policy`

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Corporation` | `Corporation` | Represents a corporation entity structure.* |
| `LimitedLiabilityCompany` | `LimitedLiabilityCompany` | Represents a limited liability company (LLC) entity structure.* |
| `LimitedLiabilityPartnership` | `LimitedLiabilityPartnership` | Represents a limited liability partnership (LLP) entity structure.* |
| `Partnership` | `Partnership` | Represents a general partnership entity structure.* |
| `SoleOwner` | `SoleOwner` | Represents a sole-proprietorship entity structure.* |
| `Others` | `Others` | Catch-all value for entity structures not otherwise enumerated.* |


## Behavioral notes
- Source declaration: `Business\SAIF.Business.Policy\Enums.vb`.
- Related operations, rules, and SQL are cross-referenced from the library-level documentation.

## Constraints and usage notes
- Consumers should rely on the declared public surface rather than internal implementation details.

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or
> contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements
> marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
