1. Backup the business

2. Import the backup & change it’s name

3. Batch delete everything you don’t want

or [Use Batch Create and Batch Update functions](https://www.manager.io/guides/9572)

If all you want to do is import the list of inventory items, start the Batch Update function in the old business. After pasting to a spreadsheet, delete columns not involved in Batch Create for the new company. There is no need to import the entire business and delete all the other things.
