Anything else you want to tell us about the help?

It’s easy to set up an MYOB Essentials business. You just need to know a few client details (like their business name and phone number), and how many employees they have (this will help you choose the right product).

You’ll also need to consider who is paying — is it you or your client?

How to

Click the Create a business button on the Online businesses page.
Pick a product for your client.
If they have:
1. two or more employees, select Essentials Accounting + Payroll.
2. less than two employees, or your not sure, select Essentials Accounting.
  Don't worry you can add more employees later.
Select your payment method. Will your client pay directly or are you billing them?
Click Continue.
Enter the details of the business owner. If you're billing your client, enter your business details.
Click Create business.
The business now appears in the list of online businesses. Can't see it? Give it a moment or two and then refresh your browser.
You'll also notice a new tab (or window) in your browser. Here you can finish setting up the business by select the accounts list and entering opening balances.
