Personal accounts or timelines are for individual, non-commercial use. If you decide to create a personal timeline instead of a Facebook Page, you will have less Facebook tools.

Characteristics of Facebook Pages (Fan Page):

Fans: the followers are called fans. To become a fan of a Page, just click the Like button.
Visibility: everybody can access your Page, even those who don’t have a Facebook account.
Limit of friends: on Facebook Pages there is no limit whereas on personal accounts the limit is 5,000 friends. You can also follow as many Pages as you want.
Statistics: this is one of the biggest differences between personal accounts and Pages. Statistics help you to find out more about your followers and how they interact with you.
Facebook ads: you can use Facebook advertisements. This is an easy and economical way to make your Page visible to millions of users.
Applications: apps are programmes that can be installed in your Facebook Page to provide it with new features.

Fan Pages also allow you to add a widget to your website so your visitors can easily become fans and click the Like button.
Fan Pages really help organizations and enterprises to make them known to more people. If you already have a personal account, don’t worry! We can help you to convert your personal account to a Facebook Page!
