Serial entrepreneur: Should I use 1 or 2 Trello accounts for my 2 businesses?

Question

Hi all, I am a new Trello user. I have two small businesses (<6 employees each) with zero overlap between the two. I thought I might set up only one Trello account (vs one for each company), so all my boards would be in one place. I would then set up teams for each company in order to group activity for each.

Does anyone have any insight, pros/cons, or best practices in this area? I'm using Trello Business Class.

Really appreciate it!

@Lisa A LindqvistInteresting question.  My recommendation is to use a single Trello account for yourself, and have multiple teams in order to separate the different businesses.

That might require you to setup a Trello team from an email address from each business, and then adding yourself to both teams with an email address that is not tied to one of the businesses.  This setup would allow you to separate the accounts later if the need arises.
