Sign up for Apple Business Manager

Tech Lockdown Team

Apple requires the use of an Apple Business Management (ABM) account in order to use a Mobile Device Manager (MDM).

This is an unfortunate, but necessary requirement imposed by Apple.

Getting an ABM account can take some time, which is why we recommend Supervising a Device until you get an ABM account approved by Apple.

Do I need a Business in order to create an Apple Business Manager account?

I've gone through the process of applying as an individual and talked with the ABM support team to get advice for home users who don't have an official business.

You need a DUNS number to get an Apple Business Manager account.

Step 1: Get a DUNS Number
