Why we picked it If you are going to structure your account safely from day one, start from Meta's own instructions rather than a third party's paraphrase, because this is the source of truth for how portfolios, ad accounts, pages, and people roles fit together. A clean business portfolio (assets owned by the business, roles assigned per person, not ads run from a personal profile) is the single biggest thing that reduces ban and lockout risk. It is dry, but it is the reference you keep going back to.

From Meta Business Help Center by Meta Reference help article
- Own your ad account and page inside a business portfolio, so losing one person does not lock you out of everything.
- Assign the least role each person needs (admin, advertiser, or analyst) instead of making everyone an admin.
- Keep this bookmarked as the canonical setup reference, since Meta updates the flow and third party guides go stale fast.
