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.

It's so depressing to think that might be the answer here!
