Delete defunct business

More than a decade ago I started a small business that distributed a few iOS apps. I foolishly created the business under my personal Apple account that I still use for all my computers, iPhones, everything.

I'm on the verge of distributing a new iOS app, but when I sign into the Apple Developer Site, it only shows my old and now completely defunct company attached to my account. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete it and start over again. The company is completely shut down, bank accounts gone, tax id gone, publishing an app through it is a non-starter.

I could create a new Apple account and use that to distribute my new app, but I'm worried that having Xcode and developer tools using one account, while all my devices are on a different account is going to cause endless friction.

Has anyone had experience with either deleting an old company, or using a different alternate account for your Apple Developer and App Store Connect stuff? Thanks!
