Difference Between Personal & Business Account Business Accounts are designed for individuals who only want to use the site to administer Pages and their ad campaigns. Business accounts have limited access to information on the site. Can view all the Pages and Social Ads that they have created, however they will not be able to view the profiles of users on the site or other content on the site that does not live on the Pages they administer. Cannot be found in search and cannot send or receive friend requests. Personal Accounts allow you to “friend” family, friends and co-workers You can use your Personal Account to “suggest a page” to other friends which grows your “fan” (or “like”) base You can create “Pages” from your personal account.
