To create a Gmail account for a business, you have two options: a free Gmail account with your business name (like [email protected]) or Google Workspace for a professional domain email ([email protected]). To make a professional Gmail free account, follow the standard signup process but choose a business-appropriate username. 

For a truly professional email, set up a Gmail account for a business through Google Workspace ($6/user/month), which provides custom domain emails with Gmail's interface, 30GB storage, and advanced admin controls. Business accounts also include enhanced security features and 24/7 support.

Setting up a Gmail account takes just 5 minutes and requires only basic information. Visit gmail.com or accounts.google.com/signup, click "Create an account," and follow these steps: (1) Enter your first/last name and choose a username, (2) Create a secure password with 8+ characters, (3) Verify your phone number via SMS or voice call, (4) Accept Google's terms of service, and (5) Personalize your account settings.

You can create a Gmail account with an existing non-Gmail email address. Start the account creation process on your phone or computer. When you reach the account creation page, click 'Use my current email address instead'. Enter your existing email address and click 'Next'. You'll receive a verification code at your current email address. Enter this code and click 'Verify'. You've then created a Gmail account using your existing email address.
