How to install

-
Go to business.apple.com (for business) or school.apple.com (for education).

Click Enroll now.

You’ll need your D-U-N-S number (a free business identifier Apple uses).
-
Submit your application — Apple usually verifies within 3–5 business days, apple . Apple will usually attempt to call the phone number provided for the listed contact person. In many cases, however, they do not call, and you may need to contact Apple yourself. The relevant phone numbers can be found here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/119895
During this process, Apple will ask to speak with the business owner or the designated contact person you provided. If you are operating as a sole proprietor, the applicant cannot be the same person as the one confirming and approving the request. In such cases, you may need to handle this requirement creatively :).
