# Facebook Business Manager and Verification

## How to Create a Facebook Business Manager Account with Samwad

If you're looking to apply for WhatsApp Business API through Samwad, you’ll need an approved Facebook Business Manager account.

Why is this important?

* Without an approved Facebook Business Manager account, your access to WhatsApp Business API will be limited, allowing you to send messages to only 250 users per broadcast.
* With an approved Facebook Business Manager account, you can upgrade your broadcast tier and send unlimited messages through Samwad.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating a Facebook Business Manager account to get started with Samwad.

 

### Steps to Create a Facebook Business Manager Account
