Because of Accounting principle of unity

Because, in accounting business itself is a separate identity from its owner and the personal affairs of owner has nothing to do with business even if he owns everything.
And in legal terms any business is also considered as a "person".

The "Economic Entity Assumption" says that the activities of the entity are to be kept separate from the activities of its owner and all other economic entities.
The business is accounted for separately from other business entities, including its owner.
The reason for this is that separate information about each business is necessary for good decisions.
