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 :).

Jamf makes device management simple for everyone
Managing Apple devices used to be a task only the IT department could handle. Configuring, resetting or reassigning iPads often took time and technical knowledge. Since we started using Jamf, that has completely changed.
Jamf is so easy to use that our IT team has been able to delegate daily tasks to the phone department. They can now:
Reset or erase devices with just a few clicks Prepare iPads or iPhones for new users without waiting on IT Keep devices secure and compliant while staying productive
By making device management accessible, Jamf saves IT time and empowers other teams to take action themselves. The result is faster turnaround and better use of every device.
