How do I record/account for debts rolled over from one company to another?

I had a company, Company A. In June of this year, I closed that company (online retail), and opened an LLC under a new business name - Company B LLC. 

 

I just started using QuickBooks. I have existing credit card debt, inventory, and office equipment (computer, et al) from the old company that are going to be rolled into the new company. How do I do this in QBO?

The accounts and items you carry over to start a new business are your starting balances.


Create the accounts and inventory items you need, and for each one enter the starting value on the account screen or the starting qty and value on the inventory item screen. Be sure you are entering the actual current balance or qty/value actually on hand.

 

When you are finished QB will have used Opening Balance Equity as the offset account for all the entries. Use a journal entry and move the balance out of OBE and into owner equity
