I currently own a service business and have a business line that is forwarded to my cell phone. It’s some sort of remote forward there is no land line at all. So whether someone dials the “landline” or my cell I get the call on my iPhone.
I am thinking of opening a second business early next year and trying not to have two cell phones to carry around. Is that a possibility and if so is there any way I can tell which business line they are trying to call before answering phone?

I could be wrong but the iPhone isn’t going to know which line is being called unless caller id is different. I.e. biz line forward the same number as the incoming call.
I use a Google voice number so I can see the call coming in on the Google voice app.
Maybe using dual sim setup would work for you. I’ve never done this personally but I did look into it and saw some drawbacks.

I have a service business, and also started a second business. I went through the same process with two different Google voice accounts on my phone. I also had my cell number which was attached to the SIM card. I like the ability to be able to silent the ringtone on the service number. While still allowing my family and close friends to contact me on my cell/sim card phone number.
Honestly, it ended up being too complicated, so I just ran two phones instead. It was easier to separate them by business. Plus on my gadget guy and it was fun to have two different phones, lol

In the days of landline this feature was called distinctive ring. I don't know if any mobile carrier supports it.
You should ask your carrier.
edit: I just looked and it appears this is now supported on apple dual sim phones running iOS 17.

I have my cell phone number for personal use, and then I also have Verizon Onetalk for my business. The OneTalk app is separate from my cell phone and has a different ring tone. OneTalk is serviceable, but I wouldn't call it great.

Dual sims (eSim + physical Sim) can be used. Android can be set to have different ringtones for each Sim, unfortunately iPhone cannot

Go buy a number from VoIPo.
Forward to iphone.
In iPhone, create a contact named [business] and set a distinctive ringtone for that contact .
???
Profit. (Like literally)

You can get another, different phone number, with the same iPhone. It's called an esim. Each number can ring differently, but all the tools iPhone has is applied to each number.
The cost is you are charged for another phone line. That sucks. But At&t, Verizon, the others offer that.
