As a company we enrolled successfully the Apple Enterprise Developer Program. As shown in the screenshot below, Apple wrotes
"Get everything you need to develop and distribute your apps on the App Store."
Enterprise Account:
But when we want to create a provisioning profile for distributing to the App Store, there is no useful action for it. We are only allowed to distribute as InHouse and AdHoc. "App Store" is missing here:
Personal Developer Account:
Only when i login into the Apple Member Center with my personal developer account, which is NOT an Enterprise Account and which doesn't belong to the company i work for, i can select "App Store" in the Distribution section:
How can we archive to distribute to the app store next to AdHoc distribution and next to InHouse Distribution?
I also tried to enroll the normal Developer Program, but we are not allowed to since we are already member of the Enterprise Developer Program. As seen in the first Screenshot above, there is no way to sign another program than the Enterprise Program.

We now tried to sign the iOS Developer Company Programm. These are steps:
I just followed your link.
First off, yes, you do still need an Apple Developer account if you want to distribute your app in the App Store. Sorry to get your hopes up, but there's no getting around it. The good news is that you can develop and test your apps on your iOS device without a paid Apple Developer account.
Only team agents and admins can create development provisioning profiles. This profile contains a name, a set of development certificates, a set of device IDs, and an app ID. A development provisioning profile ties developers and devices to a development team.
I'm afraid the Enterprise Program doesn't let you put apps into the normal App Store. It's only for in-house apps. At least that's what my research concluded when my company was looking at ways to deploy apps.
An Enterprise Account only allows you to distribute in-house within your company which is what you signed up for unfortunately. What you want is a Company Developer account which will allow you to still maintain multiple developers AND deploy to the app store. You will have to supply your DUNS information again, etc. It is the same price as an individual account ($99US)
EDIT
Based on our conversation below you will have to enroll into the Company program with an AppleID other than the Agent account AppleID you just burned on the Enterprise account.
