# Accounts and businesses Accounts identify where statements belong. Businesses identify which business you assign to a Business or Personal + business transaction. ## Add an account Open Accounts, choose **Add account**, enter a name and its three-letter currency code, leave Active checked, and save. Give separate accounts separate entries even if their names are similar. An account that already has statements cannot change currency; create another account for a different currency. Use Search to find an entry. **Include inactive** shows entries you have deactivated. Edit changes the name, currency where permitted, or Active setting. An inactive account remains available for importing historical statements. Deactivation does not remove its statements. ## Add a business Open Businesses, choose **Add business**, enter its name, and save. Edit lets you rename or deactivate it. Existing saved assignments remain readable when a business is inactive; new business choices use active entries. These pages do not provide deletion. [Categories](categories.md) has its own editor and deletion process. Next: [Import statement](statement-import.md).
