Company owners don't occupy a seat in any organization unless they are added as a

Although company owners have the same access as organization owners across all

When you first create a company, your account is both a company owner and an

To avoid occupying a seat, [assign another user as the organization owner](/manuals/admin/organization/members.md#update-a-member-role) and remove yourself from the organization.
