QuickBooks Company Setup

How to setup a new company in QuickBooks - Interview Window 2

This window, as shown below, prompts you to enter your company information. The only required field in 2008 to 2011 version is your company's name, which means you can enter as little or as much company information as you wish. For 2012 to 2013, you must enter all fields with an asterisk in order to continue. The other company information will be needed, for instance, if you will be creating invoices and other forms including tax forms. When completed fully, forms and all reports will be automatically filled with the information entered during this interview.
If you have more than one business, you will need to setup a new company for each and go through the interview process for each.
You may leave the interview at any time by clicking the 'leave' option at the bottom left screen, for 2008 through 2011 versions. QuickBooks will take you back where you left off, when you are ready to continue with your interview.
