How do you set up an Apple Business account without using a cellphone for two factor authentication?

I'm retiring and need to transfer access to my apple account to our company, so we want to set up a business account but the two factor authentication is a problem. I don't have a cell phone number for the business, only landlines. How do I set up a business account without using a cell phone number for two factor authentication?


I can verify the email address, but I don't receive any phone call on the landline that the account should be registered under.
