Professional mode currently isn't available to people under the age of 18 in the EU and the UK.
Professional mode gives you access to a bundle of professional tools and insights that can help you build your professional presence from your Facebook profile. If you're eligible, you can access monetisation products to generate income from your content.
When you turn on professional mode, these tools are added to your existing Facebook profile experience. You don't create a new profile. You'll be able to build your professional presence and maintain your personal friends and family experience from one place on Facebook.
You can turn professional mode on or off at any time. Learn more about professional mode.
