You can't rate a company. Company's overall rating is auto calculating from ratings of it's items. I think that this is the right approach to rating.

Hi Maria,

Great work on this mod! This is almost exactly what I am looking for, but I, too, would greatly love to be able to add a company to a category and be able to rate the company, rather than needing to use items.

For example, if you run a website dedicated to outdoor activities, perhaps you would list a company "ABC Fishing Equipment" under a category titled "Fishing", and a company "XYZ Hunting Equipment" under the category of "Hunting". For a fishing equipment retailer, listing 5000 different types of fishing rod styles as items is not feasible, so I would greatly prefer to just list the company under the category of Fishing.

Another example would be a nonprofit organization that does not offer items at all, but should simply be listed under the category "Nonprofit/Charitable". I'd rather just completely skip adding items, and just use the mod as a sponsor directory, with each business listed under a category.

I hope this is possible. Thanks in advance for your time!
