✅

Create a model with OneToOneField to User and related_name.

E. g.:

class Firm(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name='firm')
    # other fields

class External(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name='external')
    # other fields

Then you can check the existance of this attributes in user (if hasattr(request.user, 'firm')) and return proper instance. I’d put it in custom middleware, which would set request.user_profile for example.
