The only other thing to add - this all presumes that you need separation. Probably do for your businesses (tax and legal reasons - I have no idea), but don't forget that GNUCash reports are very flexible - you choose the accounts you want included.
I don't use the business features though - I'm not sure whether they would be as flexible. You could have two different root accounts for each business (each with their own assets, expenses, liabilities, and income sub accounts) and go from there. I'm sure I just gave a few accountants on this list a heart attack... Ultimately, as others have said, opening different files for each business is probably a better way to go. David/Adrian/John - is opening multiple windows a feature we should be putting into bugzilla for eventual incorporation? I'm getting the impression that V3.0 onwards will be much easier to fix up stuff like this.

In other words separate ledgers for separate business names? Using the one single downloaded GNU Cash system? Process advice appreciated. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.gnucash.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fgnucash-user&data=02%7C01%7C%7C84e11b321bfc4040f86708d56dacb622%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636535510911511456&sdata=0yjSI3HEmIcgJ0O6YlWxXsER5VqgDAKSM36SHFtWpvw%3D&reserved=0 If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.gnucash.org%2Fwiki%2FMailing_Lists&data=02%7C01%7C%7C84e11b321bfc4040f86708d56dacb622%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636535510911511456&sdata=7DOvQGlFHI88FacJjXqZSqSRe0GwZAcmFHHAEwBZxBY%3D&reserved=0 for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
