FAQs on companies
Are existing subscriptions affected when a company is created and organizations are added to the company?
Subscriptions and related billing details continue to be managed at the organization level at this time.
Some of my organizations don’t have a Docker Business subscription. Can I still use a parent company?
Yes, but only organizations with a Docker Business subscription can be placed under a company.
What happens if one of my organizations downgrades from Docker Business, but I still need access as a company owner?
To access and manage child organizations, the organization must have a Docker Business subscription. If the organization isn’t included in this subscription, the owner of the organization must manage the organization outside of the company.
Does my organization need to prepare for downtime during the migration process?
No, you can continue with business as usual.

What's required to create a company name?
A company name must be unique to that of its child organization. If a child organization requires the same name as a company, we suggest modifying slightly. For example, Docker Inc (parent company), Docker (child organization).
