Description Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept.	Linkage, in general terms, is the relationship between different business entities or specific sites within a corporate family. Company mergers, acquisitions, openings and closings result in a continuous change of legal structures that are difficult to monitor. Typically large companies have multiple branches (i.e. a secondary location of a company’s headquarter location). It has no legal responsibility for its debts, even though bills may be paid from the branch location. Not knowing about branches impedes fast duplicate resolution or may lead to wrong decisions due to identical company names, but different addresses.
