Running more than one business often means keeping the books separate, and QuickBooks Online supports that through its multi-company structure. This guide covers how to add another business and switch between entities.
01Go to your account settings
Open the settings menu where you manage your QuickBooks Online subscriptions and companies.
02Choose to add a new company
Select the option to create or add another business, which typically requires its own subscription.
03Set up the new company's details
Enter the basic information for the new business, such as its name, industry, and fiscal year.
04Switch between businesses as needed
Use the company switcher to move between your different QuickBooks Online accounts without logging out.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate subscription for each business?
Yes, each business generally requires its own QuickBooks Online subscription since they're treated as separate companies.
Can I use the same login for multiple businesses?
Yes, you can access multiple company files from one login and switch between them easily.
Can data be shared between the two businesses?
No, each company file keeps its own separate set of books, so data doesn't automatically flow between them.
Is there a limit to how many businesses I can add?
There's no strict limit tied to your login, though each additional company does require its own subscription cost.
