Corporate customers can side load apps on iOs now. Company handsets no longer make up 99% of smartphone, if at all they ever did.

  Apple's corporate side-load program requires you to prove that you have 250 employees. Running a local service company with 120 employees? Sorry, you're too small to qualify for side-loading. Build your custom competitive advantage apps and load them into the iTunes store for everyone or go without.

    I couldn't believe this when I read your post, but it turns out there is a minimum employee count requirement, and it's now 500 employees. Just wow. Now, to be fair, the non-enterprise developer program lets you distribute your app to 100 devices too, but you need to pre-enter those devices's IDs beforehand. There's no way to hit between 100-500 devices.

      If you want to install on more than 100 devices, it might be cheap to just buy a second SDK license. But yeah, beyond that its probably less painful to just submit your app to the app store.
