different gmail accounts for google plus local & business

When I originally set up a Google Plus Local Page listing for my business, I used a @gmail.com account. After about 4 months, I purchased info@domain.com email through gmail.

Now, I want to set up a Google + for business account. I don't want to use my original @gmail.com account but that is linked up to my Plus Local Page.

I have a Google + personal page using the purchased info@domain.com gmail account, login and go down to PAGES and add a Google + for business account, will I run into trouble since it is not the same account as my Google Plus Local Page.

Not sure if this makes sense but it is confusing me!

Thanks

    When you go to make the Google+ business page, select that you are a local business or place, and then enter the name or address of your business. A list of businesses that match will appear - if you don't see yours, select "No, these are not my businesses," then you'll be prompted to enter your local business information. If your Google+ Local information exists, you should not have to submit this info, but will instead be able to claim the listing.

    If this does not solve your issue, log in to your Google+ Local account on the @gmail.com account, then click "Edit" by your listing at https://www.google.com/local/business/. At the top right, click the gear icon then select "Manage listing access." Add your new @domain.com account as a manager. After 2 weeks, you will be able to transfer ownership of the Google+ Local page to that managing account.

    You shouldn't run into trouble, no. Just make sure you do NOT choose local as your page type when you create the new business page. Choose the company type.

    Also... do NOT attempt to claim your old G+ LOCAL listing with your new email. That would give you two verified owners (if you could even get that far), and that is a no-no. You have to first remove the listing from your gmail account, thereby UNclaiming the listing, before you attempt to claim it with a new account. Switching verified owner accounts, though, gains you nothing.

    Google+ is such a mess still in a lot of ways, ESPECIALLY when you're dealing with other people's business/personal accounts. I spent so much time trying to figure out this stuff lately, with connecting certain accounts and adding others, removing some, editing privacy settings and sharing settings etc. It's kind of a nightmare outside of the basics IMO.
