I am developing an iPhone app for a private company. It contains business critical data and should only be able to use for this company.
Do I still need to go via the App store? Is there not a private way to do this?

You can publish private apps to the Play store from the Google Admin console or the Google Play Console. After you add a private app to the apps list, users can download it from the managed Play Store on their Android device. It can take a few hours for the app to be available to users.
With Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, you can privately and securely distribute to specific partners, clients, and franchisees. You can also distribute proprietary apps to your internal employees.
What happens to my purchased apps if they are no longer available in the app store? Your app purchases stay with your app store accounts, and are available to reinstall even if they are no longer available for sale in the app store.
Apple offer two solutions for this: Apple Developer Enterprise Program, This allows you to distribute your app as a URL via your internal site or web server. Volume Purchase Program for enterprises, This allows you to distribute apps via a URL to managed devices within your organisation.
Your company can pay $299/yr to join the enterprise program which allows you to deploy app without going through the AppStore.
You can create Ad Hoc distributions for ≤ 100 users.
You can jailbreak all the target iPhones and do whatever you want.

If you want the employee to download your apps over the air without listing each employee's UDID you want to subscribe to enterprise program.
However, even with you enterprise license you will have to distribute by yourself your apps to employees. To ease your distribution, you can use private stores solutions like Appaloosa.
