My company develops an app that needs to be deployed internally (outside the App store). To do so, we need an Apple Developer Enterprise account.
We went through the process of getting a DUNS number for our business (a registered LLC) and making sure it met Apple's requirements.
After the account sat in pending status for weeks, Apple informed me over the phone that, after internal review, our application was denied. They could not provide any additional information, nor outline the criteria for entry into the program. The stated conclusively that we would not be able to get an account, without providing a reason.
Does anyone know the best way to appeal this rejection?

How many employees do you have as an LLC that only just created their DUNS? A dozen? Installing your app on a dozen devices without enterprise license but just the developer license is no problem at all.
There have been a few cases recently where enterprise licenses have been abused to distribute malware, so Apple will have some rather high standards for enterprise licenses.
