How to solve facebook start verification button greyed out

1. Make sure you have completed your business information on the settings -> About section of the business manager page
2. Turn on 2-factor authorisation for your admin users
3. If the option still doesn't appear - go to the facebook developer page and create an app - https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
4. Associate the new app with your Facebook Business Page
5. In your App dashboard - go to settings and basic and scroll down to business verificatio
6. Click on verify here - for some absurd reason it works! - you will need to upload tax documents etc to verify
