Ask HN: Why does Facebook require 2 admins to add a Company, even if sole prop.?
I'm trying to setup Facebook Audience Network for my iOS apps, and Facebook wants me to register a new company entity. After choosing a company type of "Individual (Sole Proprietor)", the 4th tab in their form asks for Admins, plural.
They won't let me make a company unless I have at least two admin users attached to it?! I tried a few support cases to get past this, but they say it's for "data security purposes". Um. There's just me. I don't want to make a fake user here...
Does anybody know why facebook would insist on this?

If you absolutely cannot get around it, perhaps it would work if you made me an Admin.
I'm a sole proprietor too. I don't yet have a Facebook Company page, but I do plan to make one soon. Then I'll face the same problem, so we can be Admins for each other.
I have a company page, and I did not run into that issue. Is this something new? I made a company page last year.
Not a company page, a company entity as part of the facebook audience network, in order to get paid. It's on app details for the app you're trying to get into FAN.
