Pakistan has one of the world's largest freelance workforces and a growing number of agencies, software houses and exporters selling to clients in the US, UK, Europe and the Gulf. For these businesses, LinkedIn is where buyers research suppliers and where decision-makers can be contacted directly. Business Premium removes the limits of a free account and adds tools for finding and reaching clients. This guide explains the price in rupees, what is included, how the CodeX Link plans work and how to get clients with it.

What is LinkedIn Business Premium?
Business Premium is LinkedIn's individual Premium plan for business use. It includes the core Premium tools, such as InMail, who viewed your profile and LinkedIn Learning, and adds features that matter when you search for people commercially: unlimited people browsing, more InMail credits and company insights.
It sits between Premium Career, built for job seekers, and Sales Navigator, a dedicated prospecting tool. For many freelancers and small businesses in Pakistan, Business Premium is the right balance of capability and price.
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 limit, so you can research prospects every day.
More InMail credits
Business Premium includes more monthly InMail credits than Premium Career, so you can contact more decision-makers outside your network, such as a marketing director at a UK brand or the founder of a US startup.
Company insights
See company headcount growth, hiring trends and department changes. A company hiring developers quickly may need outsourcing help; a company growing its marketing team may need design or content support.
Who viewed your profile
See the full list of people who viewed your profile. When a potential client looks at you after you comment on their post, it is an ideal moment to connect.
LinkedIn Learning
Courses on sales, negotiation, marketing, management and technical skills, with certificates for your profile.
Premium badge and AI tools
The gold Premium badge adds credibility on your profile, and many accounts include AI help for writing messages and profile sections.
How the CodeX Link Business Premium plans work
2 months for $15: voucher activation
The two-month plan is delivered as a voucher activation. You receive the activation, apply it on your own LinkedIn account and your Premium starts. No login details are required, so you never share your password. This plan is ideal if you want to test Business Premium during a focused client-finding campaign.
12 months for $80: upgrade on your own account
The yearly plan upgrades your own LinkedIn account to Business Premium for 12 months. At about PKR 22,400 for the year, it costs less than two months at the official price, and it suits freelancers and businesses that use LinkedIn every week.
6 months: offer closed
The six-month offer is currently closed. Choose the two-month plan to start, or the yearly plan for the best value.
Business Premium vs Premium Career vs Sales Navigator
| Premium Career | Business Premium | Sales Navigator | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Job seekers | Freelancers, owners, consultants | Daily B2B prospecting |
| Unlimited browsing | No | Yes | Yes |
| InMail | Some | More | Most |
| Company insights | Limited | Yes | Yes, with account pages |
| Lead lists and alerts | No | No | Yes |
| CodeX Link price | $10.99 / 2 months | $15 / 2 months | $19.99 / 1 month |
If you send more than a few dozen prospecting messages a week and want saved lead lists, consider Sales Navigator in Pakistan. If you only need job search features, Premium Career is cheaper.
Who should buy Business Premium in Pakistan?
Freelancers
Developers, designers, video editors, writers and marketers who want clients beyond Upwork and Fiverr. Direct clients often pay better and stay longer, and there are no platform fees.
Software houses and agencies
Business development managers at Pakistani software houses use LinkedIn to reach CTOs, founders and product managers abroad.
Exporters and manufacturers
Textile, sports goods, surgical instruments, leather, rice and furniture exporters can research buyers, sourcing managers and importers in target markets.
Consultants and coaches
Business Premium helps consultants research organisations and contact decision-makers, while the Premium badge adds credibility.
Founders and owners
Owners use it to find partners, investors, distributors and senior hires, and to stay visible in their industry.
How to get clients with Business Premium
- Pick a niche. "Shopify stores in the UK" is easier to target than "anyone who needs a website".
- Make your profile a landing page. Headline about the client's result, an About section with proof, a Featured section with case studies.
- Build a target list. Search by job title, industry and location and save 50 to 100 relevant decision-makers.
- Warm up. Follow and comment thoughtfully on their posts for a week or two.
- Reach out. Send a personalised connection request or InMail that references something specific.
- Follow up. One or two polite follow-ups with something useful, such as a short audit or idea.
- Move to a call. Offer a short call when there is clear interest.
An InMail from a Pakistani Shopify developer to a UK store owner:
Hi James, I enjoyed your post about launching your new range. I noticed your product pages take a few seconds to load on mobile, which can cost sales. I am a Shopify developer and have helped UK brands improve speed and checkout conversion. Happy to send a free 5-point speed checklist for your store if useful.
Business Premium for agencies: a weekly routine
- Monday: add 20 new prospects from searches and company insights.
- Tuesday to Thursday: comment on prospects' posts and send 5 to 10 personalised messages a day.
- Friday: publish one case study or practical tip and reply to all comments.
- Every two weeks: review replies, calls booked and proposals sent.
Paying for Business Premium in Pakistan
Paying LinkedIn directly requires a card enabled for international transactions, and the subscription renews automatically each month. Banks may apply limits and charges. Through CodeX Link you pay with a method confirmed by our team, and you choose a fixed period: two months or a year.
Common mistakes
- Sending generic sales pitches in the first message.
- Targeting too many industries at once.
- Not posting any proof of your work.
- Ignoring who viewed your profile.
- Using automation tools that break LinkedIn's rules and risk restrictions.
- Sharing your password with anyone. The two-month voucher needs no login details.
Measuring results
Track a few numbers each month: connection acceptance rate, reply rate to InMails, calls booked and deals won. If acceptance is low, improve your profile and personalisation. If replies are low, shorten your messages and lead with value. Business Premium is worth it when it leads to even one new client in a year, which for most freelancers and agencies is many times the $80 yearly price.
Is Business Premium worth it in Pakistan?
At the official price of about PKR 16,800 a month, Business Premium is a serious cost. At $15 for two months or $80 for a year through CodeX Link, it is one of the most affordable business tools a Pakistani freelancer or company can buy. If you prospect consistently, it is usually worth it; if you rarely log in, start with the free plan and a strong profile.
Profile checklist for client-finding
- Headline: who you help and the result, for example "I help UK e-commerce brands increase sales with fast Shopify stores".
- About: the problem you solve, your process, two or three results with numbers, and a clear call to action.
- Featured: case studies, portfolio links, client videos or a one-page capabilities PDF.
- Services: list each service so you appear when buyers search for providers.
- Recommendations: ask past clients, including marketplace clients, for short recommendations.
- Contact: a business email and website link so prospects can reach you outside LinkedIn.
Business Premium for exporters
Pakistani exporters in textiles, home textiles, sports goods, surgical instruments, leather, rice, seafood and furniture can use Business Premium to research importers, sourcing managers and buyers in Europe, the UK, the US and the Gulf. Search by job titles such as "Sourcing Manager", "Head of Buying" or "Procurement Director", filter by industry and country, and study each company's growth with company insights. Share factory photos, certifications such as ISO, OEKO-TEX or BSCI, and production capacity on your profile and company page, because buyers check these before replying.
A first message from a Sialkot sports goods exporter:
Hi Anna, I noticed your team sources team sportswear for clubs across Germany. We manufacture sublimated kits in Sialkot for European clubs, with low minimum orders and 4-week lead times. Happy to send our catalogue and sample pricing if helpful.
Business Premium for software houses
Business development managers at software houses in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi often target startups and SMEs in the US, UK, Europe and Australia. Focus on a few industries where you have case studies, such as healthcare, fintech or e-commerce. Use company insights to find companies hiring engineers quickly, then reach the CTO or founder with a relevant example. A short video walkthrough or a one-page case study often gets better replies than a long message.
Content that attracts clients
Business Premium works best together with consistent posting. Share one useful post a week: a before-and-after result, a short tip for your target clients, or a lesson from a recent project. Prospects who see your posts are more likely to accept your connection requests and reply to your messages.
Business Premium for teams
Each Business Premium subscription belongs to one person's profile. Many Pakistani companies buy it for their founders and business development staff, and add Sales Navigator for team members who prospect full-time. Our team can help you plan the right mix of plans for your company.
Two months or twelve months?
Start with two months for $15 if you want to test LinkedIn as a client channel. Choose twelve months for $80 if LinkedIn is already part of your sales process: the yearly plan costs about PKR 1,870 a month and keeps your tools active between campaigns.
