Business Premium is LinkedIn's plan for people who use LinkedIn to grow a business: freelancers, consultants, agencies, founders, owners and business development professionals. It removes the search limits of a free account and adds more InMail and company insights. At about $60 a month, though, it is expensive to keep running. This guide shows the cheapest genuine ways to get Business Premium, how the $15 voucher works, the truth about promo codes, trials and student discounts, and how to get the best value.

How the $15 voucher works
- Buy the two-month Business Premium plan for $15 from the CodeX Link marketplace.
- Receive your voucher activation.
- Apply it on your own LinkedIn account.
- Business Premium starts immediately; the gold badge appears on your profile.
No login details are required at any point, so your password stays private. The voucher does not renew automatically.
How the $80 yearly plan works
The 12-month plan upgrades your own LinkedIn account to Business Premium for a full year. At about $6.67 a month, it costs less than two months at LinkedIn's monthly price, and it keeps your tools active between campaigns. It suits freelancers and businesses that use LinkedIn every week.
LinkedIn Business promo code and coupon
There is no public promo code or coupon for Premium Business. LinkedIn shows personalised offers inside your account, and coupon sites usually list expired or invented codes. The CodeX Link voucher is the most affordable genuine route. Read the coupon code guide.
LinkedIn Business free trial
Premium Business is often available as a free trial, usually for one month, to eligible members who have not had Premium recently. It needs a payment card and renews at the full price unless cancelled. If your trial is used or your card fails, the $15 two-month voucher is the cheapest alternative. Read the free trial guide.
Is there a Business Premium student discount?
No public student discount exists for Premium Business. Students usually need Premium Career rather than Business. Student founders and freelancers can use the $15 voucher. See the student discount guide.

Is cheap Business Premium worth it?
At $15 for two months, Business Premium is one of the cheapest business development tools available. If it helps you win even one client, it pays for itself many times over. If LinkedIn is already part of how you find work, the $80 yearly plan is the best value.
Business Premium features explained
Unlimited people browsing
Free accounts that search for people often hit LinkedIn's commercial use limit, after which search results are restricted until the next month. Business Premium removes this cap, so you can research prospects, partners and candidates every day. For anyone who uses LinkedIn to find business, this alone justifies the plan.
InMail credits
Business Premium includes more monthly InMail credits than Premium Career. InMail lets you message decision-makers outside your network, such as a marketing director or founder you have never met. Use credits on your most valuable prospects.
Company insights
See company headcount growth, hiring trends and department changes. A company hiring developers quickly may need outsourcing help; one growing its sales team may need training or CRM support. These signals help you time your outreach.
Who viewed your profile
See everyone who viewed your profile over a longer period. When a prospect views you after a comment or proposal, it is a good moment to follow up.
LinkedIn Learning
Courses on sales, negotiation, marketing, leadership and technical skills, with certificates for your profile.
Business Premium vs Sales Navigator: which is cheaper for you?
Business Premium costs $15 for two months through CodeX Link, while Sales Navigator costs $19.99 a month. If you send a handful of prospecting messages a week and mostly network, Business Premium is the cheaper, sufficient choice. If you prospect every day and want lead lists, advanced filters and alerts, Sales Navigator saves time and is better value despite the higher price. See cheap Sales Navigator.
Paying without an international card
LinkedIn's official checkout needs a card that works for international recurring payments. Through CodeX Link, you can pay with local methods confirmed by our team in supported countries, and the voucher activation means you do not need to enter any card details on LinkedIn at all.
Real example: a freelancer's first two months
A freelance video editor using the $15 voucher:
Niche: YouTube creators and B2B SaaS marketing teams Week 1: Profile rewrite, Featured reel, Services section Weeks 2-6: 120 prospects researched, 60 messages sent Replies: 14 Calls: 6 Clients won: 2 monthly retainers ($600 each) Tool cost: $15
The numbers will be different for every business, but the pattern holds: a narrow niche, a strong profile and consistent, personalised outreach turn a cheap plan into real revenue.
Profile checklist before you activate
- Headline: who you help and the result you deliver.
- About: the problem you solve, your process, results with numbers and a call to action.
- Featured: case studies, portfolio links and testimonials.
- Services: list each service so buyers can find and message you.
- Recommendations: from past clients and colleagues.
- Banner: a clear statement of what you do, not a stock photo.
Does Business Premium help with hiring?
Yes, for occasional hiring. Unlimited browsing lets you search for candidates, and InMail lets you approach passive talent. Small businesses that hire a few people a year often find Business Premium enough; frequent hiring needs LinkedIn Recruiter Lite. Read how to find candidates on LinkedIn.
What happens when the plan ends?
Your account returns to the free plan. Your profile, connections, messages and recommendations stay, and prospects can still reply to InMails you sent. Vouchers and CodeX Link plans do not renew automatically, so there is never a surprise charge.
Two months or twelve months?
The two-month voucher ($15) is ideal for testing LinkedIn as a client channel or running a focused campaign. The twelve-month plan ($80) is ideal if LinkedIn is already part of how you win work: it keeps your tools active all year, so you never lose momentum between campaigns. Over a year, the yearly plan costs about $6.67 a month, compared with about $59.99 a month on LinkedIn's monthly billing.
| Need | Recommended | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Test LinkedIn for clients | 2-month voucher | $15 |
| One campaign or project hunt | 2-month voucher | $15 |
| Year-round business development | 12-month plan | $80 |
Content that makes Business Premium work harder
Prospects check your profile and recent posts before replying. Posting once or twice a week, with client results, practical tips or opinions on your industry, makes cold messages warm. Business Premium's profile viewer list then shows who is paying attention, so you can follow up at the right moment.
Common mistakes
- Pitching in the connection request.
- Targeting everyone instead of a niche.
- Not posting any proof of your work.
- Letting InMail credits expire.
- Buying Business when you only need Career, or the reverse.
Questions to ask any cheap Business Premium seller
- Is it genuine Premium Business on my own account?
- Do you need my password? (It should never be needed.)
- How long does it last, and does it renew automatically?
- What support is available if activation fails?
With CodeX Link: genuine Business Premium, no password, a fixed period with no automatic renewal, and support on WhatsApp and email.
Business Premium for teams
Each Business Premium subscription belongs to one person's profile. Small companies often buy it for founders and business development staff, and add Sales Navigator for anyone prospecting full-time. Contact our team to order several plans at once.
Business Premium for exporters and B2B companies
Exporters and B2B suppliers can use Business Premium to research importers, distributors and procurement managers abroad. Search by job titles such as "Sourcing Manager" or "Head of Procurement", filter by country and industry, and use company insights to prioritise growing businesses. Show certifications, capacity and case studies on your profile and company page before reaching out.
Does Business Premium include Sales Navigator?
No. Business Premium and Sales Navigator are separate subscriptions. Business Premium includes unlimited browsing, more InMail and company insights on the main LinkedIn site; Sales Navigator is a separate prospecting interface with advanced filters, lists and alerts.
What about the 6-month plan?
The six-month Business Premium offer at $50 is currently closed. If you need more than two months, the twelve-month plan at $80 is better value per month.
Tip: activate Business Premium on the day you start outreach, so every day of the plan counts.
