As a follow-up, in case anyone else finds themselves in this position. I was never able to create a FB account for myself, but a member of our team was able to use their existing personal FB account to create a company page. From there, they signed the account up for Meta for Business.
Once you have a Meta for Business account, you can apply for Brands Rights Protection, assuming you have a registered trademark. Our application was approved quickly.
This opens up a set of tools to search for impostors, infringers, etc., and a bulk report option. This is significantly quicker than using the public-facing trademark and copyright reporting forms. Within a couple of days, all imposter pages were removed across FB and Instagram.
They also have a paid service called Meta Verified for Business. This service promises even quicker action on impostors, but there is a waitlist right now, so we couldn't try it. The Brands Rights Protection ultimately fixed our issue, for now at least.
