Facebook – How to create a business page in Facebook

Each Facebook Page (brand concept) is administered by one and more flesh-and-blood human beings who have created themselves a personal Facebook Profile: there is no such thing as a personal and a business profile in Facebook, by definition all Profiles are personal.

Now it may be possible to fool Facebook into creating a Profile for a business, but don't waste your time: you are are simply inviting them to delete it once they discover it - for example, when one of your competitors reports it.

Taking a step back, why you are wanting to use the business email for the Facebook - is it because you want to give the password to someone else so that they can also maintain it? If so, then you need to

1. Get their agreement (off-line) to administer the page
2. Get them to use their personal Profile to Like the page Look at the list of people who have Liked your page
3. Choose the person from it, and make them into an administrator.

I know this isn't the answer you want to hear: it's distinctly strange that your business needs to make use of artifacts from people's personal lives to update its communication tools. But I'm afraid that's the way Facebook works, today anyway.

First of all, you could just add other admins (e.g. the people with whom you work) to the business page so that they would be able to administrate and act as the page without being in your personal account. There are different kinds of Admin Roles you can use to control who is able to do what for the page etc. To do this you:

1. At the top of your Page, click Edit Page
2. Select Manage Admin Roles
3. Enter the name or email address of the person you'd like to add
4. Click Manager below the name to choose the admin role
5. Click Save and enter your password to confirm changes

If you want to use your other email address you will have to set up either a personal or business account on facebook with that email address. Once you have registered that email address to facebook you will be able to add that new account as an admin to the page.

Once you have set up the new account as a top-level administrator if you wish to remove your personal account as an admin you can do that as well (from Transferring a Facebook Page to a New Administrator):

Return to the "Edit Page" link and click "Manage Admins" from the list on the left. Click the "Remove" button next to your own name. Click "Save Changes" and enter your password. You are no longer an admin of this page and it has been transferred to the new admin.
