Does projectile allow multihomed projects?

I have a project that consists on 3 projects: backoffice, web, and
business. Each of this  projects have their own git repo, so I have
something like this:

    my-project
      |- business
      |- web
      |- backoffice

The problem I have is that projectile uses one project per git
repository, and I have three, so I can only use any project at a time.

Is there any way I can tell projectile that they are all the same
project?

I guess putting .projectile file in my-project should be enough.

Thanks. I already had a .projectile file in the main directory.
Digging deeper, I've found that C-c p (projectile-find-file)  f looks
for files in all three projects, but C-x p f(project-find-file)  only
in the current (sub)project, and it's the command I was using until
now. In fact I don't even know where project-find-file comes from,
I'll try figure out :)

project-find-file comes from project.el which is projectile
alternative. Generally, the root in projectile is calculated using
`projectile-project-root-functions`. You may reorganize them to make
sure that the one that you want to use is be picked up first.

There is a similar solution with project.el. See this [blog
post](https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2021-04-02-emacs-project-
override/) for discussion of how to put a `.project.el` file in any
dir to make it the root (whether or not it is a vc repo).
