Running more than one business

What goes wrong

Two businesses in one spreadsheet become one business with confusing totals. Two spreadsheets become two things to forget about. And a partner in one should not be able to see the other.

What DriveFlow does about it

Separate businesses, one sign-in

Each business is its own organisation, with its own cars, customers, staff and money.

Its own country and currency

A business in Dubai can work in dirhams while another works in US dollars, and every figure follows the business it belongs to.

Staff and roles per business

Someone can be finance in one organisation and have no access to another. Roles are set separately in each.

Plans per business

A plan belongs to a business and carries its own car and seat limits, so a small second business is not held to the limits of your large one.

Where it stops

• There is no combined total across businesses. You read each one on its own.

Where this is common

• Johor Bahru: If one business is in Johor Bahru and another is somewhere else, each keeps its own books.
• Dubai: If you run one business in dirhams and another in a different currency.

If this is close, also read

• Renting out cars you do not own: If one of the businesses runs cars that belong to someone else.
• Monthly and corporate rentals: If one of them rents mostly by the month.
