Create a Business Formation Order

Submit a new business formation order. On success, returns HTTP 201 with the full submitted order echoed back under data.partnerOrder (not a summary — see the API-level Response Envelope notes).

Where the order GUID lives: data.partnerOrder.orderGuid. Parsers reading data.orderGuid will get null.

Common 400 errors and what they mean:

Server-side normalization: the businessStructureType value "LLC" is normalized to "Limited Liability Company (LLC)" in the response echo. If you compare request vs response, that difference is intentional.
