Company account and AWS personal account

Does anyone know the differences between a company account and a personal account in terms of functionality in AWS?

Amazon AWS help page says :

  1. Select a company account or personal account.
    Note. These two types of accounts are identical in functionality.

There does not seem to be any paperwork to indicate the differences.

Since I have a client who has not yet formed a company, but would like to start working with services, should we start with a personal account and any opportunity to switch to a company account after that?

There is no difference in functionality, and if your client ever gets big enough when it matters, you can always contact AWS and change your account settings.

IMO, your client does not risk anything, just setting up a personal account to get started, and they may never have to switch it - just make sure that the person creating the account is not the one who is likely to quit and take an account with you or keep it for blackmail - the credentials of the root account must be controlled by the owner or other company official. All other users must have IAM accounts.
