Personally, I'd leverage the personal network initially.
When you're starting from zero, the people who already know and trust you are often your first supporters, customers, and referral sources. That doesn't mean mixing every aspect of your personal life with your business; it just means letting your network know what you're building.
Over time, the business page should develop its own audience, but there's nothing wrong with using existing trust to get those first few wins and build momentum.

Thank you, this is really helpful. I agree with the points you made, especially letting your network know what you're building without mixing in every part of your personal life. I think I'll connect the two at least initially and let the business page grow its own audience over time. Appreciate you sharing this.
