I'm not an accountant by any means, so this might be bad advice. I will tell you how I handle my personal and business accounts in one Gnucash file.  I have the usual set of accounts, Equity, Assets, Cash, Income, Liabilities, and Opening Balance for my personal accounts.  These have the usual

Malcolm, As others have said you really need professional advice. It will depend upon your local legislation and how your business affairs are structured whether you need to maintain separate books for your business activities or not. What follows is an attempt to outline how GnuCash might be used

Would suggest you start with the latest version of the Tutorial and Concepts guide https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/index.html and the help manual rather than a video from 2011. Even the most recent video is from 2016. GnuCash has changed quite a bit since then. Chapter 3.2 of the
