    Hi @SMS70,

    Because Quicken is a personal financial application, there is no "owner's equity" type of account, even within the Home & Business version.

    That being said, and - under the assumption that you are running "Quicken Home and Business" version - you can simply setup a liability type account within the business accounts and call it "Owner's Equity". You'll need to make manual entries into that account to track the various transactions that affect owner's equity.

    Hope this helps.
