Indie pubbers, do you separate your author business and your publisher business?

e.g. business name(s) etc. Or have you rolled it into one.

There is no "publisher business" for you unless you're actually handling the means of production and distribution. For 99.9999% of independent publishers, being "independent" means having someone like Amazon serve as the means of production and distribution rather than going through a traditional publisher.
