Managing multiple devices under one apple id

i have a business with multiple devices. I want to be able to download or restrict apple apps remotely from those devices. I also want to lock access to certain apps. I have emailed apple multiple times to create a business id but it is not happening. What do I do?

You need to set up an Apple Business account. It's not done by email. You'll need to start at www.apple.com/business using your D-U-N-S number. If you don't know this, you'll need to find it through D-U-N-S. Once you are set up, you can do volume purchasing.


Separately, you need a device management platform. Apple Business includes one for free. It's not as full featured as Jamf, Iru, Fleet, or Workspace One, but it's great to start with.
