The create a company endpoint is used to create a company for a given account.

Use case for this endpoint: This method is particularly useful if you're integrating with a CRM or another application with a similar notion of a company. You can use it to create companies in HubSpot that you may already have stored in an external system, like an Account-Based Marketing (ABM) solution or an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
