A banned ad account may also affect a BM account, so it's best to have one ad account per BM account.

BMs, in my experience are harder to get banned especially if you have warmed them up slowly.
I totally agree with you!

In my experience, it's almost always the Ad Account that gets suspended first.
The Business Manager usually survives longer and only starts getting restricted after you've lost several ad accounts under it.
That's what I've consistently seen lately.

In my experience, it's usually the ad account that gets suspended first, especially if there's suspicious activity like mismatched info or aggressive targeting. BM suspensions happen, but they’re rarer and usually come after multiple ad account issues.

Based on my 20 years of experience in the field, the issue lies with the ad account.

There are two types of advertising accounts: personal advertising accounts and business management advertising accounts. Personal advertising accounts are suitable for advertisers with low budgets. Whether an account gets banned depends on the credibility of the advertising account and the products you advertise on that account. I have verified my business advertising accounts and have highly credible business advertising accounts that have never been banned.

Ad account, usually due to not following the warm up process.

in my exp mostly ad account get suspended first not BM, like fb flag some activity or payment issue then ad acc go down fast, BM only get hit if you keep doing same thing or many ad acc under it get flagged, so BM last longer but still risky if not careful.
Ad accounts for sure

Tbh, ad accounts are usually the first to get hammered, your whole bm typically only gets nuked if you're a repeat offender or for really egregious stuff

For me, usually the ad account gets suspended first, BM mostly safe unless you keep breaking rules on multiple accounts. Ads with too much “shady” stuff, like fake promises or banned products, get flagged fast. BM only hit if FB sees repeated violations.

In my experience, personal ad accounts are more likely to be suspended than Business Manager accounts because they are where campaigns are directly executed. Violations regarding sensitive image content, prohibited words, product policy violations or irregularities in payment history can all lead to immediate suspension of personal ad accounts. BM accounts are less likely to be suspended due to individual ad content issues, but once suspended, the entire ad account, audience and Pixel are frozen. This is the most significant damage for large-scale campaigns.

In my experience, the ads acount is almost always the first to be suspended, while the BM typically survives longer, only facing restrictions after losing several accounts under it. Because a banned Ad Account can negatively impact the BM, the safest practice is to maintain only one ad account per BM. If you decide to purchase an account from the many sellers available today, you must be selective and cautious. It can be tricky, so always ask for the account's historical statistics before buying.
