Can a LinkedIn Page of a company be made into Premium Page
OR the personal account used to create that page has to be upgraded to premium to avail the features?
Please let me know.
Actually, no!🙂 You don’t need a Premium subscription to create a LinkedIn company page. You can do it for free by following these steps:
– Click the Work icon in the top right corner of your LinkedIn homepage.
– Choose the Create a company page option.
– Choose one of the options stating the size of your business.
– Follow the steps to fill out the form asking for your company’s details.
– Click Create page.
– Click “Start building your page!” to finish building your Page.
Yes, you can buy LinkedIn Learning accounts as a corporation for your team. Just go here: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/ and tap “Buy for my team”. This will take you to a contact form page where you will get in touch with LinkedIn’s Sales Team to discuss your pricing options.
It’s worth noting however, that when you decide to buy licenses as a corporate account, LinkedIn forces you to pay for an annual subscription. So yes, you do get a discount but you somewhat guarantee that the employee will keep this account for at least one year, whether they remain with you or not.
Another way to do it is simply buy the LinkedIn Premium Subscription individually for each of your employees, you have more payment flexibility this way.
No, premium subscriptions are only meant for individual accounts, whilst a LinkedIn company page does not represent a single “person”. This type of subscription is an individual license. While it is possible to have a “team” account that groups individuals, the benefits are only associated with individual accounts and not the company page.

I created my company linkedin page through my personal linkedin account , i have search for optional to upgrade my company account to premium but cant find it. how do i go about this, i am creating to job hiring on the company account.
Thank you for your comment! As I explained in the previous comments, you cannot directly upgrade your company LinkedIn page to a Premium account through the company page settings, since Premium subscriptions are designed for individual profiles. Here’s how you can proceed with publishing a job posting on your company LinkedIn page:
Navigate to Your Company Page
Post a Job: Look for the “Jobs” section or an option that says “Post a job” on your company page.
Create Your Job Posting: Fill in the details of the job, including the role, description, and qualifications.
Publish the Job: Once you’ve completed the job details, publish it to make it visible to potential candidates on LinkedIn.
I hope this answers you question! Let me know if you need anything else! 🙂
