Well, unless you have someone with DD status, you do need a sponsor to get a
package uploaded to Debian…

What is the exact license terms? Is the source code available?

(Your website unfortunatly hints that your product is a closed-
source product…)

I'll be frank with you: Debian is about Free (Libre) Software.
Even if there is a contrib and non-free section, (this is not part of
the official Debian project), those are not intended to ship 3rd closed-source binaries.
So you will probably be best off if you host your own apt repository
for your customers: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/distribute-deb/distribute-deb.html

If my assessment was wrong and you are indeed have the source code available, please
accept my appoligizes. In this case please add a link to the license terms here
to see if the minimum requirements are fullfilled.

(Or consider to release your product under a DFSG license.  That would be the
best, of course.)
