It's easy to share a business page on Facebook — whether you do so online or on the mobile app.

Business pages are designed to be viewed and shared by friends on timelines, in groups and events, or via private message. To share a company or organization's page using any of these options, click the "Share" button with an arrow found below the page's header photo.

Sharing on the mobile app looks about the same, though options are condensed due to limited space. Tap the three dots to open the page's menu, where you can then draft a post. Choose to share on your timeline or to another location with the option at the top of the screen.

Here's how to do both.

4. You can also select who you would like to share the page with by clicking the blue button at the top. Sharing to your timeline is the default, but you can also choose to share to a friend's timeline, a group, or an event instead. Or, you can opt to simply share in a private message.

• If you choose to stick with the default and share to your timeline, you can also change who can see the post on your timeline next to the "Cancel" and "Post" buttons at the bottom. For example, you can set the post so that all your public friends can see it except for a few people.
