Are you pondering the issue of “how to access my company page on LinkedIn?” Can you no longer access your LinkedIn Company page to update and amend it?
LinkedIn makes it quite easy for a person to legitimise themselves in the process of owning a LinkedIn Company Page. It is for this reason that many problems occur when those access privileges need to change.
So, the first question is:
You should!
If you do, fine. But make sure at least one other person has that access as well by becoming an additional ‘Admin’ for the Company Page. This should also be someone with the proper authority from the company, such as a Director or Company Secretary.
The login details should be kept and managed in a secure but accessible location.
The people who might typically ‘own’ the Company page might be in:
Find out now who does and act according to the instructions above!
The first action to take would be to try to contact the person who has the login details.
This is by far the easiest resolution to the problem.
I recommend keeping a log of your communication as you might require it later.
So, now you have hit a brick wall – what next?
You have to resort to ‘LinkedIn help’
This won’t be an easy experience, but with patience and persistence, you should get your situation resolved.
LinkedIn will require that you are able to verify yourself as having the responsibility to act on the company’s behalf. A company email address will often be sufficient for the process along with an email coming from that account with the correspondence.
There may be a bit of toing and froing, so be ready for it. But in the end, you should be successful.
(Note: When talking about a LinkedIn Company Page, LinkedIn tends to drop the use of the word ‘Company’, simply referring to it as a ‘LinkedIn Page’ (as distinct from a LinkedIn Profile, belonging to a person)

It might be worth you checking who is actually registered as being employed at your Company. LinkedIn has a very poor procedure of allowing anyone to assign themselves to any company they choose as an employee.
Whilst this is sometimes simply a mistake, and often found simply as a result of a former employee not putting a closing date on their employment with the company, sometimes it can be a deliberate ploy to associate themselves with you.
