Knifemaker membership question

Looking for a little guidance from the staff and those more knowledgeable than I.

I know a couple with a business making things from metal, including knives. I believe both have accounts on Blade Forums, though I don't believe either has posted anything yet. Their birthdays are coming up and I was considering buying a knifemaker's membership for them as a gift so they would have the option to list their stuff in the exchange and also so they wouldn't need to be careful when discussing his work not to get a mod thinking they were trying to get around the membership rules to sell.

Here's my confusion. It's one (very small) business that they're both partners in. For now I'll call it Hypothetical Question Forge. He does most of the making and so would be the one to answer questions or just be discussing his work in the forums (at least as far as things that might go on the exchange goes) but she handles pretty much all the online presence for Hypothetical Question Forge so would probably be the one doing listings if they chose to list something.

I'm wondering if they both need to have an individual knifemaker's membership, if only one would need to have one or if, in a case like this where it's a single business with different people handling different aspects of it, two members could fall under a single knifemaker's membership.

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Nice gesture.

If only one person is actually selling items I don’t see a single membership being a problem. Why can’t they post under the same account.

I wasn't sure that was allowed. Since it is, I'll probably upgrade his so he's free to discuss his work and tell her that she'll need to use his account to list things. I'm not sure she'll do much posting outside of that anyway.

Thank you very much for the swift reply.

Off topic, good to see you Hex. Stop by the Greyline.
