How to create a Facebook Page for business?
First, you need to log in to your personal Facebook account and create the Facebook business page from there for creating the business page.
But the question here is that creating the Facebook business page from your personal Facebook account will merge the posts, activities, and other things of both accounts. So your personal accounts information will be visible on the page?.
Then the answer to this question is no, the information of your personal account will not be visible on your Facebook business page, and both page and personal account will be handled separately.
You can also be able to make more than one Administrator for your Facebook business page. This means more than one person will manage your page.
All the administrators have their personal accounts and need to manage by login into that account. The personal account is the key here. By login into it, you can handle the business page.
There is no way to handle a Facebook business page without logging into the personal page, so if you don’t log in to your personal account, start creating your Facebook business page by following the below steps.
Step 1: Register for a Facebook Business Page

Username is the important part, even it is not much important by your view now but believe it play the important role for creating your brand awareness.

Suppose someone likes your service and needs to promote it on Facebook, they write the post and tag your page there, while taking you your username will be visible their and that name people read which reading the post.
And using that username people can find you also. people remember that name and can visit your page using that.
You should also do the settings and configuration of some important pieces of information like:
- Visitor posts on your page
- Age and country restrictions
- Automated responses in messaging
- Assigning page roles to people
- Connecting the page to an Instagram account
These all things are as important as username, they help you lot like if you give any tag or page role to people they motivate and do you marketing for free.
These things are smaller but that much important.
Step 7: Invite Friends to Like Your Page and Introduce your page
Exactly below the Set Your Page up for Success you can see the invite Invite Friends to Like Your Page tab, by which you can invite your friends to like and follow your page.

you can invite other people also to like your page. invite as much as people you know so that they can like and share by which your reach will rise.
If we see and speak frankly your page was created before step four. Then why we need to follow other steps is the main question here, the answer for this is we set up your page during these steps.
The only creation of a business page is not that important, but setting up the page and information on it is much more important.
