Does anyone know the difference between them? i have a site already but a web developer contacted me and said i should have a corporate site aswell as my normal one?
This had me a little confused so if anyone can tell me whats so different about them that would be great

Hi,
It depends on how your business is setup.
if you have other businesses offering different products and services that work under the main business then have two sites created.
does that make sense?

Ahh i see 
Thanks for the info, i was also wondering if anyone knows the best way to go about creating a kind of sub company within the company i already run?
For instance my current business i design/manufacture leather apparel such as watches, belts etc but im wanting to break into car interiors using leather as a base material but under a different name....is it possible to just create a new name along with a new website etc then keep it all running from one business account? or is this too complicated when it comes to book keeping?
As its on the same lines as my current business i was hoping just to be able to create a kind of sub company but keep it all running as it currently is.

Hi Matt,
There is nothing to stop you from creating a sub business under the main one and run it through one account.
If you had two accounts, that would mean more money going out! (eek!)
As the 2nd business is in line with what you currently do, it will just be a different product/service that you are offering.
e.g.
+ Leather4me (main business - corporate website)
---- InteriorLeather (sub-business - 2nd branded website)
---- MobileLeather (sub-business - 3rd branded website)
Unless you are offering something completely different, e.g. selling cars/boats, then yes you would need a different account as it is a totally different business.
Hope this all makes sense!
