}Create a company
Starts a company formation for one of your customers. Set entityType to LLC (the default) or CCorp: an LLC takes members, while a CCorp takes executiveMembers and ccorpValuation. Idempotent on the Idempotency-Key header: a successful create is replayed for the same key, so retries never start a duplicate formation. If a create fails before it commits, the key is released — fix the request and retry with the same key.
