Private or Personal Facebook Accounts

A private Facebook account is a basic requirement for creating a Meta Business Account or a business page. You probably know a private account and use it yourself. There you can share posts, photos and much more with your friends.


Facebook Page or Business Page

Similar to a private account, you can imagine a business page, but there a business shares the latest happenings, information and upcoming events with customers or other interested parties. Personal accounts can like, comment or share this. This can be managed either by a private account or by a META business account.


Meta Business Account or Meta Business Manager

☝️ Formerly known as Facebook Business Manager or Facebook Business Account.

A Meta Business Account is an account on the Meta platform that allows businesses to centrally manage and analyse their activities on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp Business. Companies can assign roles and permissions for employees and access all other Meta products and services.

Through the business account, Meta receives the information about which business is behind the Facebook and Instagram pages or the WhatsApp number.
