Individuals not companies/organizations

Almost all of our Third Parties are individuals. What is the best way to just manage people and not organizations for prospects, and customers? For vendors we would continue to manage them as organizations with contacts. We just need to track these by FIRST and LAST name.

I found this post from 2012 but thought maybe there would be something new since then.

I did not find anything I thought would do the trick in the setup section.

Thank you
