Struggling with Getting Business Approved to get on Apple Business

I've tried to set up Apple Business for my business so I could utilize their email services. I have been struggling to get approved after providing business license, FEIN, DUNS#, utility bills, etc. Can someone give me a reference to what Apple is trying to get at. I am starting to get annoyed as I have been denied 3 times using different combinations of information to no success. I don't understand how to be any clearer.


Anyone else struggle to get their business "approved"? If so, what did you do to overcome it? I am trying to utilize Apple for all of its capabilities within our business as ALL computers are Mac products. Tips, tricks, anything! Cause I would not like to search elsewhere

Re: "Struggling with Getting Business Approved to get on Apple Business"


Sorry to see no-one has replied to you, as yet. Am no business expert myself, am just an Apple community user. Your thoughtful post to us deserves some reply.


This is how I understand the current Apple business situation:

In Apple's words:

"Apple Business combines the capabilities previously found in Apple Business Manager, Apple Business Essentials and Apple Business Connect into a single, comprehensive offering, catering to both your internal operational needs and your external customer-facing strategies.” 


You may have been applying with the earlier methods, or you may be up-to-date.


If you haven't seen it already: See: Sign up for Apple Business

Eg: says:

"Overview

You can create your organisation in minutes. After Apple verifies your organisation, you can unlock all Apple Business features.


After you sign up, Apple recommends verifying your organisation as soon as possible to avoid your organisation’s data from being deleted. Verification can take multiple working days depending on application volume and, if necessary, whether Apple can reach your provided contact. If your organisation isn’t approved during the verification window, your organisation, data and Managed Apple Accounts will be deleted."


The above linked article also contains much more detailed "sign-up" step by step info.


It comes from the: Apple Business User Guide. which may also be very helpful to you, if you haven't seen it already.

You can click "Table of Contents" on the "Welcome" page that opens from the link above for topics leading to more detailed "how to" info.
