Setting up business accounts

[John Layman]

Just set your business accounts up in a second file.  I have separate
'Business' and 'Personal' GNUCash files, and switching between them has
proven to be no problem.  I use equity accounts in both files for recording
draws and contributed capital, and every such transaction in one file has a
corresponding transaction in the other.  For example, a business meal in a
restaurant that doesn't accept the business American Express card becomes,
not an expense, but a capital contribution from the personal credit card
used.  The expense is the second side of the capital contribution
transaction in the business file.

Subject: Setting up business accounts

Dear All,
 
I need a bit of guidence. I have been using Gnucash for my personal accounts
since April 2010 and I have just set up a business, with business bank
accounts and I want to add this to my Gnucash. I went through the druid,
which is fantastic, but it was attaching my existing personal accounts
(Bank, savings, credit card) to the new business accounts hierarchy. I
couldn't edit this so I cancelled out of it. 
 
Can someone tell me how to set up the business accounts without having my
personal bank accounts and credit cards accounts attached to them? I want to
add my business bank accounts and credit card accounts to the business
accounts hierarchy.
 
Many thanks for your assistance.
 
Best regards,
 
Tarra
