Quickbooks desktop startup assistance.

Due to legal reasons, we recently had to "start a new business" and continue operations during the transition. Currently, as a self-taught bookkeeper, I am having trouble making sure the chart of account is accurate for our individual situations. How to account for funds being moved from the "old business" to the "new business".  I will be able to explain in more depth once we find the right person to hire.
