The short answer
TikTok for Business is TikTok’s set of accounts and tools for companies: A Verified Business Account for organic posting, Ads Manager for paid campaigns, and free resources such as Creative Center. Anyone whose main goal is promoting a business should use a business account; it gets a pre-cleared commercial music library and a website link, and ads need at least $50 a day per campaign and $20 per ad group.

Get started, step by step
- 01

- 04
Boost what already works
Turn your best organic posts into Spark Ads so the engagement builds on the original.

Start above the $50 and $20 daily minimums, raise budgets by no more than 30 to 40% at a time, and not more often than every two days.

TikTok Shop lets sellers sell through videos, LIVE and the Showcase tab in 15 countries, including the US and UK.
TikTok for Business at a glance
Business account, free
“Anyone whose primary goal on TikTok is to promote their business… should use a Verified Business Account.”
Cleared music only
Business accounts use the Commercial Music Library, about 1 million pre-cleared songs, and not the general library, which is not cleared for commercial use.
Website link from day one
Business accounts can link a website immediately; personal accounts need 1,000 followers.
Ads from $50 a day
Daily budget must exceed $50 at campaign level and $20 at ad group level.
Spark Ads boost real posts
Run your own or a creator’s organic post as an ad (with their authorisation); views, likes and follows stay on the original post.
Free tools
Creative Center (top ads and trends, no login), Business Suite analytics and leads, and Symphony AI tools whose output is labelled as AI-generated.

Which account type
General (personal) account
The full general music library and the Commercial Music Library, Creator Rewards eligibility, a website link after 1,000 followers. For people, not companies.
Verified Business Account
Commercial Music Library only, website link straight away, Business Suite and leads. For anyone mainly promoting a product or service.
Organization account
TikTok’s third account type, for organisations; check eligibility in the Help Center before switching.
The daily posting behind it
Whatever the account, organic reach comes from a steady stream of original videos. Percify makes one daily from your website with your own face and voice and posts what you approve to your business account.

Your questions, answered
Short answers to what people ask next.
TikTok’s accounts and tools for companies: Verified Business Accounts for organic posting, Ads Manager for paid campaigns, Business Center to manage accounts, and free resources like Creative Center and the Commercial Music Library.
Yes. Switching to a Verified Business Account costs nothing; you only pay if you run ads.
The daily budget must exceed $50 at campaign level and $20 at ad group level in Ads Manager. What you actually spend above that is up to you.
TikTok says anyone whose main goal is promoting a product or service should use a Verified Business Account. The trade-off is music: business accounts only get the Commercial Music Library.
Ads that run an existing organic TikTok post, your own or a creator’s with their authorisation. Views, comments, likes and follows count toward the original post.
Percify reads your website, deals daily video ideas built on formats that performed in your market, presents them with your own face and voice, and posts the ones you approve to your TikTok business account and up to 9 other platforms.
