Facebook Business Manager is a key tool for managing ad accounts and pages. If for some reason the standard registration method does not work, no problem — you can always try an alternative. In this article, we will review 11 methods for creating a BM that are relevant in 2026. Let’s go!
Method 1. Registering Business Manager via the standard Facebook form
The easiest way is to register a BM via the official page:
- follow the link;
- fill in all the required fields (as shown in the screenshot below).
P.S. We recommend using temporary email services (for example, ProtonMail, Tutanota, Temp Mail, Guerrilla Mail, or 10 Minute Mail).
If this method doesn’t work — don’t panic, there’s a solution. Below we’ll review alternative ways to create a BM.
Method 2. Linking Instagram for automatic Business Manager creation
If you have a professional Instagram account, you can link it to a Fan Page, and the system will automatically create a Business Manager.
Let’s break it down using a new-type Fan Page as an example:
- First, register or purchase an Instagram account;
- In settings, switch it to a “Professional account”;
- To link the Instagram account, switch to the Fan Page.
- Click the “Professional dashboard” button (as shown in the screenshot).
- Next, go to “Connected accounts”.
- Select “Instagram”.
- Click “Connect account”.
- Click the “Connect” button again.
- In the pop-up window, log in to Instagram.
- Click “Done”.
- After a few minutes, a ready Business Manager will appear in your account.
Method 3. How to create a Business Manager using a browser extension?
Registration via the FB Acc Status Plugin extension allows you to automate the process:
- install the script into your browser bookmarks;
- click it and select “BM”;
- fill in the data;
- click “Go”.
This is a fast method that minimizes manual actions.
Method 4. Registering Business Manager via Monetization Manager
If you plan to monetize content or work with Facebook Ads at the level of partner programs, you can obtain a Business Manager via Monetization Manager.
- Go to the Monetization Manager page.
- Click the “Get started” button to begin registration.

- Click “Next” to confirm the details.
The new Business Manager will be created automatically after registration is completed.
