Job Creation between two businesses

[jafersadeq]

Entrepreneur guidance Nov.2016
Job creation
158. If you have established new businesses, those businesses must have, between them, created the equivalent of 2 extra full-time paid jobs for at least 2 people who are settled in the UK and those jobs must have existed for at least 12 months each.
The question is:
If you have two UK businesses:

Company (A) and one full-time employee works in it for 12 months in Engineering department. &
Company (B) and one full-time employee works in it for 12 months in Marketing department.

Is it ok to claim points for job creation?

As a businessman you can even do 10 different businesses (as a director) and if you create jobs in all of them, you can claim points.

Dear Zimba88,
I asked about that because I read in the guidance 11/2016 in page 45:
in the table
D. You have :established a new business or businesses that has/have created the equivalent of at least 2 new full time jobs for persons settled in the UK.

They did not say:

You have :established a new business or businesses that has/have created at least 2 new full time jobs for persons settled in the UK.
The word (equivalent) made me ask that question,

Please clarify.
Thanks,

This should be straightforward. The word equivalent is used cause you could potentially create all 24 months of employment in one position with one person or multiple posts and people over multiple businesses, so in both cases this IS equivalent of two full time jobs (24 months of full time employment).
