   Hi Kelly,

   We are currently finalising the tutorial on Migrating a personal profile page to a business page, while we are finalising this I thought it best to send you this link with some great details and further instructions on how to work through the migration. Please be sure to follow the steps that have been outlined. As I am sure you understand making a copy of your current content is very important (you definitely don’t want to lose that) and as such I would definitely recommend that you do follow the noted steps to create a backup. Another complication that has been highlighted is the usage of a custom URL or alias on your personal profile, if you already have one assigned it will be redirected to a page not found. This can easily be rectified by submitting a form on Facebook (if this is the case for you please let me know and I will be happy to help you out).

   Find out how to migrate your page here: http://www.michielgaasterland.com/facebook/how-to-easily-and-automatically-convert-your-facebook-friends-from-a-personal-profile-to-a-business-page/

   If you have any further questions please let me know and I will be happy to help out.

   Cheers
   Mel

   That post is EXTREMELY helpful!

   Very comprehensive – glad I read the risks so I can be fully prepared for the merge. Have been wanting to merge from a personal FB account to business for more than a year now, glad to find a way to do it without loosing our followers we’ve worked hard to build.
