Hi Mike,

 

You cannot have a second Trading name - currently QB will only allow one company name which will show on your invoices. You may be able to get around this by uploading a custom form style using the import styles with your company information on for the 2nd trading name.

 

You can use class to separate transactions; however if you are required to do separate vat returns or payroll; you'll be much better getting a second license.

it's basically the same company, vat number etc, we just sell a different product so we have a trading name for this and a separate bank account

Hey there, mike-cosgrove.

I'm here to lend a hand in having a trading name in QuickBooks Online.

 

You may try to change the Company Name and use the Trading Name on your Account and Settings section. This way, your trading name will show on your sales forms.

 

You can do the changes by following the steps below:

 

    1. Click the Gear icon at the upper right corner.
    2. Go to the Company name and click the pencil icon to edit.
    3. Make the necessary changes in the Company name field.
    4. Hit Save
