Wrong place to start (with a problem like this)

First need to answer some questions at the "business" level.

In other words, why do you want this? Assuming were in two separate 
books, would there be a great many transactions (per unit time) between 
them? Business to personal or vice versa? Are there reports where you 
would want involving both, and how frequently run?

You should always answers at this level before getting down to the how 
to implement questions. It is far from clear to me that combining the 
books for these logically separate entities (views) would make your work 
easier.
