But it doesn't have access to the consumer-facing store and is intended solely for internal business usage (for example, employee training and the like.)
You can actually obtain it with access to the consumer facing store now, but you couldn't when that scheme launched.
But there is no way to switch between these options, or even to upgrade the consumer hardware you had to buy to get stuff out of the door when they launched without this functionality to be able to utilise the business accounts, even if you were willing to pay to do so. The answer is literally to junk your existing hardware investment.
It's really a crazy mess. Nobody at Facebook/Oculus seems to really care about how this is supposed to work for businesses developing for the platform in practice.
It seems so much harder than just permitting business users to set up a "faux" account that can be used for company wide demo machines (and managed only by signing into that account, not having to buy specific hardware), even if a bunch of verification was required for that initial setup.
