First consider if you really need a FaceBook Business Page. You are not allowed to be ‘marketing’ from your personal FB page, but this business is about being visible, building relationships, and asking for referrals. You can do these things in a non-salesish way from your personal FB page.
If you are prepared to commit to a FaceBook Business page, be prepared to invest the time into it to make it a good page that will be interesting and useful to people. Make sure it is not just self-serving and an advertisement. (Nobody likes that.)
