Creating your business manager account
Your Business Manager Account is where everything related to Facebook and Business is handled. This includes your Advertising.

- Log into your personal account when prompted.
If you don’t have a personal account, follow these instructions and return back to this step. - Enter your Business Name, Personal Name, and your Business Email and click “Continue”.
If you aren’t prompted to do this, you already have a Business Manager account.
