Hi,

Gnucash can have as many different files as you need - each file will contain 
one set of books.  Just go File -> New File until you have what you need.

One caveat is that saved customised reports options and preferences are set 
per-user, not per-file.  That does make sense for some of the options, but 
things like default year-end date etc. can catch out the un-wary.

Note that GC will make backups and log files etc. to help ensure your data 
integrity, I would put each of the businesses in its own folder to try to 
maintian some sort of order!
