Billing entities in Lano define which legal entity is responsible for receiving and paying invoices for services like EOR employment and payroll.
By default, each newly created entity is its own billing entity — meaning it will receive invoices for:
EOR employees hired under that entity
Payroll services configured for that entity
However, Lano gives you the flexibility to centralize billing. You can configure a different entity to handle the invoices for services provided to another one. For example: Services provided to Entity A can be billed to Entity B. This is especially useful if your finance team prefers to consolidate costs under one headquarters or shared service center.
To update which entity is billed for services:
Go to Settings → Organization.
Select the entity for which you want to update billing settings.
Scroll to the Billing entity section.
Click Edit.
Choose a new billing entity from the dropdown.
Click Save.
Once updated, all future invoices for the selected entity will be issued to the selected billing entity.
If the entity you want to assign as the billing entity isn’t listed, you’ll need to create a new entity in Lano.
