In my experience, ad accounts tend to get restricted more often than the BM itself. Meta usually targets the specific asset that triggered the risk signal first.

In my experience, the ad account gets restricted more often than the BM. BM restrictions usually happen when there are broader business, verification, or policy issues.

Usually the ad account gets restricted first, while the Business Manager (BM) may be affected if there are repeated or serious policy violations. It really depends on the reason for the suspension.

lately, I’ve seen both, but ad accounts often get restricted first. If Meta detects broader business-level issues, the BM can be disabled too, so always check Account Quality for the specific reason.

Currently, I’ve found that personal ad accounts with an established spending history tend to be more stable and less prone to being disabled compared to Business Manager (BM) ad accounts. You might want to look into using this type of account.

Given Facebook’s recent algorithms, both are at a very high risk of being restricted. Typically, individual ad accounts are restricted first, followed by the Business Manager (BM). In many cases, the appeal process is also ineffective, as appeals often result in permanent restrictions.
