Recently clients have asked for help managing companies that have multiple brands, subsidiaries or locations.

The answer is parent-child relationships. And it can be a game changer. Here’s why it’s worth setting up…

Just like in real life, relationships in business can get complicated.

A single parent company might have many child companies beneath it, each with their own contacts, deals, and activities.

If you’re not organizing these correctly, you’re likely missing out on valuable context and insights.

Before you start assigning relationships, take a moment to map out your real-world business structures. Whether it’s franchises, regions, or holding companies, getting clarity here saves time later.

While HubSpot tracks the relationship, create custom properties like “Franchise Region” or “Global Account Owner” to add even more visibility to your structure.

Use parent-child filters in reporting to roll up total deal value, activity, and pipeline stages across related companies. This helps with forecasting and strategic planning.

Think of your CRM like a family tree—it works best when the relationships are clear and well-documented. With the right setup, HubSpot’s parent-child structure can help you unlock a deeper understanding of your customer landscape.
