    Hi,
     
    You can copy master data to new company.
     
    Just create a new company and then use Configuration package as discussed in below video.
     
     
    It's so simple to copy data between companies in database. 
     
    Regards,

    you might need to reference to how to create configuration packages.
     
    I'd suggest you to watch a few videos and practice in a sandbox until feeling comfortable to move the data. Handled incorrectly, it could run into errors or incorrect data import.

    You have to go to the Companies Page and select Create New Company
     
     
    And select the Create New - No Data option
     
     
    You can then use configuration packages to export/import master data between your Main entity and your legal entity. You will also have to perform all the required setup in the new legal company as well.
