Allow Company ID to be an addressable value in Automations

We work with a client that needs to parse details of a contact's company to a 3rd party system, basically allowing product usage for all contacts sharing that company ID to be permitted.
We can't use the Company Name, as there will be instances of shared names with franchises/locations etc. so the ID will be the only "fool-proof" solution.
In Contacts > Companies, I can expose in the UI the Record ID against the Companies, so I don't think it would be major overhaul to allow it as a merge field for webhooks/automations etc.

This would be very helpful. Right now, we are restricted to using the Company Name in workflows, which is not a unique identifier. If I am syncing to AirTable, for example, I want to be able to identify the Business/Company by its ID in GHL. Like Richard said, we can see this ID in the UI, but we can not access the {{business.id}} field anywhere. What is especially painful is that the GHL API requires the ID as a param. So if I ever want to modify the business via API, I don't have the correct info to be able to do so.
