To create a business

1. On the Partner Dashboard, click Create a business. The panel changes to a form in which you can add the business.
   
2. Enter the name of the business you’re adding in the Business Name field.
3. Select the chart of accounts you want to use for this business, based either on what the business does, or using one of your existing businesses as a template. For example, if the business is a retail store, you might choose the ‘I sell products’ chart of accounts.
   If you choose a chart of accounts based on what the business does, the accounts created will include the standard accounts that are usually required for this type of business. You’ll still be able to add and remove accounts later if required.
4. If you participate in the rewards program, enter your MYOB client ID or serial number.
5. Click Create.
   The business appears in your business list, and can be accessed by clicking the business name.
6. If necessary, return to the MYOB Essentials Partner Dashboard and continue working with your own file.
