Can I sign up to Facebook strictly as a company?

[Diana]

I have a personal account already on FaceBook, but my superiors are asking if its possible to create a Profile for just the company. I see I can create a PAGE for a company hen I'm already signed in as myself, but I'm looking to solely make a Profile specifically for the business.

I have searched for other companies within the same industry and have found listings for them, although I can't check out ho they are created, etc. nor cn I see the profile. So how is this good advertising if I must add these companies as a friend first? Wouldn't I want to "check them out" before adding them?

Facebook doesn't have good resources that I can find for answering these questions, or "about Facebook" for that matter....

Please help!
