How to Combine Business Profiles in LinkedIn

Two or more LinkedIn profiles cannot actually be merged on LinkedIn but the contacts on one profile can be transferred to another profile, which prevents the most important information from being lost. Content from one profile can be copied and pasted into another profile, so all the information from one profile will be transferred into the other. Making contacts on LinkedIn, a professional social networking site, is one of the most important reasons for creating a LinkedIn profile.
