Hi, 

Company templates are created to establish localized basic data / system set up suggestion on a country by country basis.  For example The Swedish template will be very different from a US template, The countries have different needs. 

If we have single standalone company - not part of a corporate structure, we would typically set up a company based on a local company template (assuming one is available).  

You can see what’s in a company template by going into the company templates screen and navigating to the details. 

If we are creating a company that is part of a larger corporate structure, then we may choose a different create company process and may decide to copy an existing company set up.

Many things do into that decision, so I’m not saying do x or y, You may do x or y depending on needs.  

Best Regards, 

Thomas
