Deploy iPhone app without using iTunes
I want to create an iPhone application to be used internally in a client enterprise (very small, only 5-10 devices). But since they will pay for the app development, I don't want to distribute this app to the world in the App Store in iTunes. How can I distribute this application to my client? Should I get an Enterprise Subscription from the Apple Developer Program? Since I am a freelancer, I think I cannot sign up for this program.

You must purchase an Enterprise client subscription.
The alternative, since there are only a few devices, is to regularly provide provisioning profiles for all devices. This sounds like a huge hassle to me. Profiles expire every 3 months which I checked, but it changed before.
If you really want to clear the barrel, there is also a jailbreak :)
