How Do You Create a Company Page On LinkedIn Without A Personal Account?

If you’ve ever worried about having your business’s LinkedIn presence tied to one employee’s profile or worse, losing access when someone leaves, you’re not alone. Many companies assume they need a completely “independent” LinkedIn Company Page that isn’t attached to any personal account. The truth is: LinkedIn doesn’t allow that.

Every LinkedIn Company Page must be created and managed through personal LinkedIn member accounts. But that doesn’t mean your brand has to look like it’s owned by one person, or that you’re stuck relying on a single employee for access.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to create a proper LinkedIn Company Page that feels fully corporate, how to set up multiple admins, how to remove personal visibility where possible, and how to avoid the common pitfalls businesses run into.

Why Your LinkedIn Company Page Setup Matters

Your LinkedIn Company Page is more than a logo and an “About” section. When set up correctly, it becomes a core digital asset for your business. A strong setup gives you:

Credibility - A polished Company Page builds trust, helps prospects verify who you are, and boosts your visibility in LinkedIn search.

Brand safety - Multiple admins ensure no single employee controls your company’s presence.

Access to business tools - From analytics to ads to employee advocacy, a properly structured page unlocks LinkedIn’s full ecosystem.

Continuity - If someone leaves, your LinkedIn presence stays stable.

If you’re building a team, running paid campaigns, or hiring actively, this foundation is crucial.

How to Create a LinkedIn Company Page Not Tied to One Person

Below is a clean, step-by-step process used by agencies and internal marketing teams to build a corporate page that isn’t dependent on one employee.

1. Prepare Your Company Details and Brand Assets

Before creating anything, get your assets ready. You’ll need:

• A professional domain email (e.g., info@yourcompany.com)

• A short and long company description

• Your website URL

• Logo (300x300) and banner image (1128x191)

• Industry, company size, and headquarters location

• A list of specialties (these help with search visibility)

  
  

Using domain emails is important because LinkedIn often uses these for verification and admin approvals.

2. Create the LinkedIn Company Page From Any Employee Account

Create the LinkedIn Company Page From Any Employee Account

Any verified LinkedIn user can create a Company Page. The steps:

1. Log in to LinkedIn

2. Click For Business (top-right corner)

3. Select Create a Company Page

4. Choose the correct category (Small Business, Medium/Large, Showcase Page, or Educational Institution)

5. Fill in all details and publish

   
   

At this moment, the creator becomes the first Super Admin, but don’t worry, you’ll fix the “single owner” issue in the next step.

3. Add Multiple Page Admins Immediately

This is the most important part if you want the page to feel corporate rather than personal.

Go to:

Admin Tools > Manage Admins

Add at least 2-3 trusted employees using their corporate email addresses and assign them as:

• Super Admins (full control)

• Content Admins (post only)

• Analysts (analytics only)

  
  

This removes the “single point of failure” most businesses face.

4. Clean Up Personal Visibility on the Page

While the page will always be created through a personal account, you can remove or hide any personal connection from public view:

• Make sure the “About” section lists only the company’s official contact info

• Remove the creator from the Featured Employees list (if visible)

• Encourage employees to list the company as their employer so the page appears fully branded

• Keep all admin communication and contact details corporate, not personal

  
  

This is how agencies create “standalone” pages for clients without appearing on them.

5. Verify Your Company Domain

LinkedIn sometimes requests verification for:

• Admin access

• Employee listing

• Access to ads or careers features

  
  

You can verify your domain using:

• An email from the company’s domain

• DNS verification

• Company website confirmation

Completing this step reduces admin disputes and gives you more control.

Understanding LinkedIn Admin Roles

6. Transfer or Remove the Original Creator Safely

If the person who originally created the page should no longer be involved:

1. Add multiple Super Admins

2. Confirm at least one is company management

3. Remove the original creator under Manage Admins

4. Only delete their LinkedIn account after confirming admin control is stable

Never delete the creator’s LinkedIn account before removing them as admin, you risk losing access entirely.

Common Problems (And How to Fix Them Quickly)

Here are the issues businesses run into most often:

“LinkedIn says my Company Page already exists.”

This happens when another employee created a page years ago.

Try:

1. Request admin access directly on the Page

2. If the admin never responds, contact LinkedIn through the Help Center

3. Provide proof such as:

   • Business registration

   • Domain email

   • Official documents

     
     

“LinkedIn support is slow or giving generic responses.”

Prepare a complete documentation package:

• Business license

• Screenshot of the Company Page

• Proof the admin left the company

• Domain ownership verification

• Company email proof

  
  

Then open a support ticket from multiple verified employee accounts. Consistency helps.

“Personal info from the old admin is still showing on the Page.”

Check:

• About section

• Contact info

• Team listing

• Admin list

  
  

Update everything to reflect brand-only information.

“I don’t want employees’ profiles linked to the page.”

Employees can list your company as their employer, you cannot block this.

What you can control:

• Which employees are Page admins

• Who appears as Featured Employees

• What contact details are shown publicly

  
  

This keeps your Page corporate and clean.

Best Practices to Keep Your LinkedIn Company Page Healthy

• Maintain at least two long-term Super Admins

• Review admin roles quarterly

• Document your LinkedIn posting process

• Use a shared company inbox for communication

• Set clear rules for ad spend, copy approval, and brand tone

• Encourage employee advocacy for organic reach

• Post consistently, even once per week dramatically improves growth

  
  

If You’re Migrating an Old Page

Do this before anything else:

1. Transfer all admin roles

2. Update the About section

3. Clean up old branding

4. Notify followers if anything major is changing

5. Contact LinkedIn support if the old admin is unreachable

   
   

Transitioning a page is easier before an employee leaves, not after.

SEO Tips for a Strong LinkedIn Company Page

• Use keywords naturally in the About section (your services, location, industries)

• Fill out Specialties - they matter more than people think

• Add your website as a hyperlink

• Use branded and industry hashtags in your posts

• Share case studies, hiring posts, company news, and behind-the-scenes insights

  
  

Your Company Page can rank on Google if optimized properly.

When You Should Bring in External Help

Consider outsourcing if:

• LinkedIn won’t approve admin transfer after multiple support tickets

• You’re building a content or ad strategy from scratch

• You need an employee advocacy program

• You’re managing a reputation or crisis situation

  
  

An expert can often resolve admin issues faster because they know how LinkedIn responds.
