Sending Messages And Invites From A Business Page

Hello, I am trying to send messages and/or invites from my business page to fans. It will only allow me to send messages to my friends who are there via my personal account. When I set up the page I was logged in as myself. Is it possible to send messages, other than updates, to fans?

The problem is that you do not have a business account. Business accounts do not have Friends, and Facebook does not allow you to have both kinds of accounts.

You must first delete your personal account: press the Submit button on the deletion page.

Then to set up a business account you must create a Facebook Ad or Facebook Page. Once you’ve entered in the required information, you will be taken to the "Facebook Login" page and you'll have to confirm that you do not have a Facebook account.
