I think business accounts have to be linked with personal accounts, and Facebook requires users to use their legal name. They also do phone verification for signups now so it's not trivial to get around their requirements

You're 100% right. A few years back you could sign up for business accounts which were seperate from your personal identity, but 2 or 3 years back this practice was cancelled and you had to start linking your business account to your personal account.

You need to hire a burner person in your legal corporation, to be the owner of your FB accoubt.
