Are there any requirements for the application of personal Gmail and Gmail for business?

A personal Gmail account can only be registered if you meet the minimum age requirement (at least 13 years old). For children under 13, parents can set up an account for their children through Family Link, which they can manage themselves once they reach the age of 13.

For the Google Workspace account for businesses, you must have a domain name before you register it. It should be a valid domain name (not an offensive or untrue brand name). If the company is newly established and does not have a domain yet, you can consider buying it from BigDomaint or GoDaddy.
