Using iCloud for business can I separate out personal and business files to choose which files to share?

I run my own business (1 year old) and I use all Apple devices, including a MBP, iPhone iPad and Air 2 I find it great to keep a track of all my work files and standard documents including templates created in the likes of Pages.

I am looking to possible employ someone, and I would like them to have access to the iCloud filing structure I use to store all my job files, Admin documents, standard documents and templates etc. Currently this is all linked with my iCloud/Apple account which also includes personal documents etc. Is there a way of creating a separate business account to store all such documents which can then be easily shared and worked upon by multiple persons or a way of selecting the files to appear to other people?

MacBook Pro 13" iCore5, Mac OS X (10.6.7), null

One way to do that would be to create a second user account for work. Transfer all your work related document there. Then create a new Apple ID and sign into iCloud. Arrange your documents there. You can then sign the new employee into that iCloud account.

On the devices, this would require going to Settings/iCloud to sign in/out as your switched between your personal files and your work data.
