To begin, according to Facebook’s terms of service, you cannot use your profile to represent anyone or anything other than yourself or your business. You will no longer have access to your account if you use a personal profile to represent a business, and do not convert that profile into a Facebook Page instead.

Creating a Facebook Page for you as a brand or for your organization comes with a tonne of benefits as well, including the following:
