Following the solution takes you to the change your personal name screen, not change business name.  How do I change the business name? I didn't realize I was putting something in for all eternity...

PayPal will ask for a reason.  Was there a legal reason or an error?

 

Your business name is a legal name for your busines.  Changing it isn't a simple matter.  The legal change should first be reflected on you own business documents.

 

I just went through the steps to make sure they were correct.

 

 

If you don't have the option, then you"ll need to contact PayPal customer service for help.

THESE DIRECTIONS FOR how TO CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS NAME ARE INCORRECT. #1 THERE IS NO "CHANGE" NAME BUTTON, CHOICE ETC THERE.

The only name that can be changed is YOUR PERSONAL NAME not your BUSINESS name

Seconding sweetparsley201 above, I absolutely cannot change my business name.

 

When I try (Update Business Information --> Edit --> Business Name --> Change) it leads me to a page to change MY name, not my business name, even though I specifically chose "Business Name"

 

Anyone knows a work-around or a solution to this? Thank you!

Same here, when I click "continue" the button does nothing.  Did you ever get this to work?
