How to initiate an account in QB

Good day, @26southacre.

When you say initiate an account, you’re referring to setting up one, right? If so, let’s get started by subscribing to QBO first. 

Here’s how:

1. Go to https://quickbooks.intuit.com/uk/1/home-17054302155/#price and click the Free trial button for the plan that suits your business needs. 
2. On the pop-up, click No thank you, continue with free trial.
3. In the Let’s get started window, fill in all the necessary details.
4. Hit Start Free Trial.

Once done, you're now ready to set up your QuickBooks account. Here’s an article to serve as your guide: Setting up for Success with QuickBooks Online. Though the article is for the Community US website, much of the information and steps work for the UK QBO version. 

Please leave a reply if there's anything else you need. I'm more than happy to help. Have a fantastic day!
