# Multi-company profiles

## Introduction

If your team needs to manage multiple companies and each of these companies has its own Patchworks dashboard and its own setup, how do you manage these efficiently?

This is achieved by [adding required 'child' companies](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles/adding-and-linking-a-new-company) and then [linking](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles/unlinking-a-company-from-your-multi-company-profile) these to your own profile. When this is done, yours becomes a **multi-company profile** and your team members (with an appropriate Patchworks [role](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/roles-and-permissions-summary)) can be [granted access](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/managing-team-members-and-users-for-multi-company-profiles/working-with-your-team-members/granting-and-revoking-permission-for-an-existing-team-member-to-manage-a-linked-company) to manage linked companies. This allows them to ['switch into'](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles/switching-in-and-out-of-a-linked-company) a company that they manage and perform required tasks. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Having ['switched into'](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles/switching-in-and-out-of-a-linked-company) a company, you can do everything that a user directly associated with that company can do - for example, [manage users](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/managing-team-members-and-users-for-multi-company-profiles), install [connectors](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-connectors/installing-a-connector), build [process flows](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/process-flows/about-process-flows), etc.).
