The way I read the FAQ is that you can have a business page only, but that it doesn't allow you to do some of the stuff that you might want to do ... Business accounts cannot be found in search & can't do that friend stuff?I am still confused, my understanding is that I do have to have a personal page before I can have a business page. Is this no longer correct? (I attended a webinar a couple of weeks ago where this was still stated.)I am big on my privacy, and even tho I know I need to do it, haven't done FB yet. This is the kind of stuff that makes it worse. I hate having to OPT OUT of things. What happens when I am to busy to monitor it, and I don't notice that something new has been done, and I didn't OPT OUT?Decide if you want to share everything with everybody or not. Instant personalization on FB..

You can open a business account on FB and not a personal one. That way you can have a fan page for the lodge but not deal with all the personal info being leaked all over. The latest one I think is that if you, as a person, 'like' something, your name can now be taken and used by that company in their FB ads. 'White Pine likes this product! You should too.'
If the business only acct had been available years ago, I would have done it that way as I really only use the account for the business (and those grandchild videos).

.I was not able to just have a biz page and that was/is all I want. You aren't allowed two pages, so the biz page is spawned from your personal page. If someone can show us otherwise, PLEASE DO! I will jump at it!white pine said:I am still confused, my understanding is that I do have to have a personal page before I can have a business page. Is this no longer correct?

.I can't find the info. I thought I read it from one of the links on here, but I may have clicked off this link to another page. There was specific info that the 'business' page was different from the 'personal' page but you needed either of them to start a fan page. If I find it I'll post it here.

Business accounts have limited access to information on the site. An individual with a business account 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. In addition, business accounts cannot be found in search and cannot send or receive friend requests.
If/when I do Facebook for my business purposes don't I want to jump in the lake instead of just sticking my toe in the water?
