When posting transactions being paid for under another ( BASE) company, would you post it as an Investment, a Receivable or in the expenses somewhere?

Two separate companies - two different types of industry. Owner will eventually be registering this new company and new books will be created. In the meantime, where do I keep all the transactions?

If I understand you correctly you are asking about transactions between related companies. This is usually handled as a receivable/payable to be eliminated on consolidation of the accounts. So one organisation will record a receivable, usually in other receivables and the other company will record a payable.

This assuming that the amounts you speak of are of the nature of recoverables and not part of the initial investment
