Hi Jason,

I can lend a hand with setting up your second company.

As Raywhite28 stated, this will require another subscription, however both companies can be shown under the same account. Here's how:

Go to the following website: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing/.
Click Buy Now under the version you'd like to sign up for.
Instead of entering your information on the next screen, click the link that reads "Already have an Intuit account from TurboTax, Mint, or QuickBooks? Sign In."
Enter the login credentials of your existing company, and follow the on-screen prompts to set up the second company.

Once you're finished, a few things will be different:

When you sign into your account, you'll now have the option to enter "Company 1" or "Company 2", instead of being directed to the home page of a company.
If you click the Gear icon, you'll see the option to Switch Companies.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

   Go to http://quickbooks.intuit.com/online/
    Click Buy Now or Free 30-Day Trial for the version you want (Simple Start, Essentials or Plus)
    On the page that asks for your contact info, at the top, you should see Already have an account? Sign in
    Sign in with the user ID and password you use for your other company subscriptions. You will now be setting up a new subscription under the same log in information.

Yes, you can. You will need a second subscription. Call customer service for pricing.

Can vendors and such be cloned from company 1 to company 2?

Hello there, joeyo.

I appreciate you joining this thread.

There isn't a way we can automatically clone vendors from one company to another. You'll need to manually enter vendor information and transactions to the second company.

Here's how to add a new vendor;

Select Expenses and then Vendors.
Select Add a vendor.
Complete the fields in the Vendor Information window.
Select Save.

Here's a great resource about Vendors overview in QuickBooks Online.

Please know that you're always welcome to get back if you require further assistance with adding vendor information in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I'm always happy to help.
