How to set up facebook profile for business?

[kaire]

I agree that Groups or Pages are the best profiles for a business. Everyone on Facebook can view a Group or Page, but the same can't be said for an actual profile. Profiles can only be viewed by friends or people within the same Network -- that cuts out a lot of people who may be interested in your business but can't see its profile.

If you really want a "real" profile for your business, you need to start all over again. Facebook can be really picky about changing names so you should start a brand new Facebook account with the business' name as the first, middle, or last (however way you want it to look like).

The other pluses to making a Group or Page for a business is that an icon of your business will be placed on someone's profile or in their News Feed. It can encourage their friends to also view that Group/Page so they may in turn, add it to their own profile. Having a "business" added as a new friend isn't quite the same.
