First we should know that using a Facebook profile for a business organization is a violation of the policies of Facebook as one can use the profile for individual use only and for the business use, there is only one option i.e. the Facebook business page. Also, it is clear that a Facebook profile is not suited to be associated with an individual Profile. A business organization should have a strong social presence which can only be availed through a Facebook social page.

Another reason for such conversion is that you cannot advertise your personal profile. For the advertisement of your business organisation, you will need to create a page and not an individual facebook profile. Also, you cannot track the traffic generated by your content through a personal profile as such facilities are only available in the Facebook pages.Some important things to be taken into consideration
You should always remember that all information from your profile is not transferred to your Facebook page. Only you username, name, profile picture, friends (as likes) and some basic info will be transferred to your information regarding the newly created page. So, you should download the personal information of your profile before converting it into a page to use that information in future from other accounts. Also, if you have some other pages associated with the converted profile, you will remain admin of that pages and you can also add some more admins to manage those pages as well as the newly created one.Conclusion
