Single iPhone app to multiple iPhones destibution

I am developing an iPhone application for car dealers who would register with my website, which will let them add details of their cars and photos and push them into my website. I want to hand them out each an iPhone with the application installed (at least 100 dealers). I want to know whether it is possible to be done using one apple account (since the max limitation is 5 devices to be used with one apple ID). Or please suggest me another alternative for this?

I want this to be done in a proper way so they would be able to receive updates of the application as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Because of the closed nature of the iPhone, there isn't a neat way that you can distribute devices with apps preinstalled besides building them as developer versions before shipping. These will expire over time and you would be limited to 100 deployments as per the number of unique devices allowed per iOS developer account.

Using Ad-Hoc Distribution (part of your Apple Developer Program) you can install your app on up to 100 devices. If you sign up for the Enterprise Apple Developer Program, you will no longer have a device limit but will violate the program if you use it to distribute outside your organization.

The other option is to publish your app to the App Store and protect it with a username/password so that only car dealers you authorize can access your app.
