Go to facebook.com/pages/create. Select "Business or Brand". Don't use your personal profile for business.
💡 Tip: You need a personal Facebook account to create a Page, but customers won't see your personal profile
Use your business name. Category: "Financial Service", "Loan Service", or "Financial Consultant".
