How to create a Facebook Business Manager?

Facebook Business Manager is a tool that helps you organize and manage your business. When you join Business Manager, colleagues can't view your personal Facebook profile unless you approve their friend requests. Colleagues can only see your name, work email address and the Pages and ad accounts you have access to.

You need a Facebook profile to create a Business Manager account. You use your Facebook username and password to sign in to Business Manager. It's a more secure way to log in than with just an email address and password.

Note: You can only create two Business Manager accounts. If you need more, please work with someone else in your organization to create additional Business Manager accounts.

Before you begin, make sure that you have a personal Facebook account to confirm your identity.

To create a Business Manager:

• Go to business.facebook.com/overview.
• Click Create account.
• Enter a name for your business, your name and work email address and click Next.
• Enter your business details and click Submit.
