3. Click Create in the Create a Company Page box on the right
4. Enter your company's official name and your work email address.
5. Click Continue and enter your company information.
Tips: Although Company Pages can be followed on LinkedIn, the Company Page itself cannot “follow” anyone else, be a member of a group, or otherwise engage on LinkedIn outside of the page itself.
Because it is a professional networking site they try to never lose site of that with the company pages. Although Companies have a voice through status updates and other features of the company page, it is individuals, even on behalf of a company, who engage on LinkedIn.
Another thing to notice when posting to LinkedIn the use of #s are not applicable.
