Hi, my name is Kity Rich - I am the Director of Business Development new company for me, and their Social Media sites were set up under personal accounts - I want to work on some inbound Marketing Campaigns and participate in this group but cannot figure out how to remove the old FaceBook, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts and set up new Business Ones - can anyone assist?

Hi Kity,

For Facebook you will need to set up a Company page, whch you can find instructions for here: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/473994396650734?id=939256796236247

Aftrer the company page is set up, I recommend that you log in to your old account "company page" and invite all connections to follow your new Company page, as well as publishing a few posts informing you connections that the profile page will be closing down. 

You can find details on how to close down the old account here (make sure that your logged in to the correct profile before doing so): https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674 

For LinkedIn, I recommend the exact same process. Here's information about how to create a company page: https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/cx/21/11/linkedin-pages
