Another Company
Another Company adds a second or third company to a customer who already has one. The customer keeps a single login and switches between companies from inside the ERP, but each company has its own database, its own books and its own independent subscription that you bill separately.
Where to find it
Go to New + > Another Company. For a customer who does not exist yet, use New Company instead.
Steps to create a second company
- Select an existing customer from the dropdown at the top.
- Review their existing companies. The list that appears shows customer name, company name and GST number, so you can confirm you are adding to the right account and not duplicating one.
- Enter the new company's details — see the table below.
- Choose a pack. If none is chosen the field reads "No Pack selected" and the company has no subscription.
- Click Create New Company.

Important considerations
| Point | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Subscriptions are independent | Each company is billed on its own. Adding a company does not extend the first one's plan. |
| The login is shared | One email, several companies. The customer switches between them exactly as you switch between yours. |
| Settings are not shared | Chart of accounts, items, tax setup and users are per company and start empty. |
| Mandatory fields | A missing company name, address, email, phone or pack stops the creation with an error. |
Sell a second company rather than a second login. Two logins means the customer signs out and back in to move between their books; one login with two companies is a dropdown.
What happens next
The subscription joins the normal cycle — renewals, extensions and holds are all handled from Company Subscriptions alongside every other company.
