Question

I'm looking at getting a skype number, but I may not be available to answer it all the time, so wondering if you can link the number to multiple accounts (from other people in our business) so other people can answer it?

Online Numbers can only be on one Skype account, but you could configure the Call Forwarding settings on that account to forward calls to other Skype account names if nobody answers the call on the account with the Online Number.  The call forwarding would ring any account name or telephone number listed simultaneously, and connect the forwarded call to the first account or number that answers the forwarded call.  Note that forwarding to telephone numbers (except for certain toll-free numbers) would require Skype Credit or a subscription to cover the costs of forwarding calls to telephone numbers.
