Problem

HighLevel ties every contact to a single {{contact.company_name}}. For owners who have multiple ventures, that one-company cap makes the CRM messy and limits automation options.

The root issue: there’s no native support for {{contact.company2_name}}, {{contact.company3_name}}, etc., so the full usability breaks down once a prospect has more than one business.

Proposed Solution

Multi-company object, phone-style

Let the Company field behave like Phone and Email: add, reorder, or delete as many company slots as needed.

Each slot is surfaced as {{contact.company1_name}}, {{contact.company2_name}}, {{contact.company3_name}}, and so on.

Built-in hierarchy & defaults

Company 1 (Primary / default)

Company 2 (2)

Company 3 (3)

etc

Users choose the primary company with a radio button (mirrors the primary-phone selector).

Reordering should change the hierarchy automatically.

Workflow friendliness

If / Else conditions can now check company2_name or company3_name

Keeps automation readable while supporting advanced B2B nurturing.

Field management & UI

Adding another company feels identical to clicking “+ Add Phone Number” (see mock-up screen attached).

New company fields auto-appear in the custom field list for forms, reports, and exports.

Future gains

Lays the groundwork for smarter handling of multiple phone numbers, emails, and other repeatable objects using a unified pattern.

Why it matters

Modern agencies work with founders, franchisees, and holding companies that own several entities.

This enhancement removes a hard ceiling on GHL’s B2B capabilities, slashes manual duplicate-contact work, and keeps data (and automations) clean.

Mock UI showing a “Companies” widget modeled after the existing “Phone Numbers” dialog.
