small starting business - initial sell of shares, capital raised and related questions

[Dustin Henning]

	I think you would create a stock account and sell shares from it,
giving you income.  This would show the number of shares as a negative
number, and may not be proper from an accounting standpoint (since you
didn't short-sell shares of some other stock), but it would be simple.  If
you needed to turn around and track the equipment as capital, I imagine you
would be getting way outside of what GnuCash is meant to do (issuing shares
probably is, but the workaround is easy).

and related questions

Hi
I need some help with the following setup

1) Small business starts out with 0 EUR (all accounts are empty)
2) "Shares" of get issued and N investors buy the shares - lets say total of
10 000 shares, 1 EUR per share
3) Equipment is purchased with the money received from 2)

We need to keep track of how many "shares" are issued (there will be more
shares issued, if there is need for additional capital) We do not care who
has how many shares - something else is used for this

My question is, what is the correct way to set this up in gnugash?
I am new to gnucash so please keep it simple but detailed enough so I can
set up the accounts properly :)

Thank you
