two business sharing same phone and address

[mugatea]

Hi, I already have my wee dog walking business but am starting up a wee website design company on the side. They will share the same phone number and address. Is this an issue? Do I need to do anything or can I go into Google My Business now and add my new web design business?

Thanks for the replies, I've set it up and withhelp my phone number for the time being

When people ring inquiring about getting a website designed and get some one answering the phone saying "mugatea dog walking", they will be a least confused or at worst say "Oh sorry I have rang the wrong number" and ring off.

Just call both businesses "Wee Duggie" and answer the phone with that name.

BT Call Sign allows you to have two numbers on one line.

Or spend 3-5 quid a month and get a VOIP number for one, or both...

You could also unify the name of both business's so you could call it "wee communications" or "wee media and services" so when somebody calls you could say "hello wee media and services how can I help" would cost nothing to use that line.

I couldn't have both my businesses on google my business. I had to pick one, although setting up a second google account might have worked.

Lets assume you live at 34 Fake Street, you could say one is at 34 A Fake Street. Potential confusion but would work.
