    There is no difference between a premier and business account.
    Fees structure and every thing is same.
    But only 1 difference is that you need to use the business account in the name of your business and the premier account you can either use in your own name or u can use in the name of the business!
    That's it and nothing more! :)

    Its more about the taxations purposes i.e. how do you want to show your income. direct income or want to route it through a company name

    Also note that, IMO, PayPal business accounts get limited far less often than the other types of PayPal accounts. It kinda parallels business credit cards vs personal credit cards.

    Well, if your business is registered in your home country and you have a bank account in your company's name then a Business Account would be relevant. However if you do not have a registered business or a bank account in your business name then go for the Premier account.

    The Premier account is the same as the business account in terms of most of the benefits, except it is for the private individual.
