Sorry for the late reply.

People who are logged into Facebook as a user can create Facebook pages. The fact you create the page doesn’t associated it with your personal profile. Your personal profile and that Facebook page you created aren’t tied together – you however, are the admin of the page you created. Others can be made an admin but the page is not associated with their personal profiles either. I’ve created about 20 Facebook pages but my personal profile is not associated with them in any way, including my own Facebook Page!

Does this help?

Still confused..

How is it that GM for example created a Facebook Business “profile”.. Was it created with a Personal Profile and then a Page? And if so how is it we can see the Business page but not the personal page..which is of course what we would also like to do

Unfortunately I rarely use Business Accounts as I feel they are unnecessary given that now you can create pages and transfer ownership very easily from your personal profile. Maybe someone else has the answer. I did a quick search on Facebook but they don’t go into details about creating business accounts.

Sorry.

When you create a page in Facebook, you are the admin, but you are not a fan automatically. You have to “like” the page in order to become one. If you don’t, what you post to the page will not show up in your news feed.

Hope this clarifies it.

A Facebook Page is an entity on Facebook that is created by a personal profile but is in no way associated with that profile other than you are the administrator.

Log into your personal profile, go to https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php and create the page for your business.

If you don’t like the page from your personal profile, no one will know you are associated with it. However, you lose the visibility to your friends that you get as a fan of your own page.

But if you truly need to be hidden, then this is how you do it.

Hope this helps.

I have a personal account on facebook and want to set up a business page/account on FB.

I own the business but do not want my poersoal account to be linked to the business account/page as i do not want relatives etc to know what I do…what is the best way of doing this…sorry to reask but it ias all confusing for me…

You can switch between using Facebook as you or as the page and you can do different things. For example, as the Page, you can go like other pages.

Here’s how to keep things a bit clearer: you friend people, you like businesses or brands. You don’t really friend brands.

You as an admin will always post to the Page as the Page unless you switch the settings in the “edit page” area. If you do that, you can post on the page as you, not the admin. Just remember to switch back if you want to post on the page as the page.

If you want to use Facebook as the page, the link to switch is at the top right (under the pictures of the admins).
