Got a new iPad - don't want my old info on it. How do I avoid data transfer even with a new Apple ID?

Bought a new iPad for my business. When I try to set it up, it had all of my personal information from a separate Apple ID on the new device. I tried to reset the new iPad by selecting "Erase all Content and Settings." Even then it came back with my personal data. Help!

iPad, iPadOS 15

When set up the new iPad for your business, use a @company dot com mailaddress.

Don't use your private Apple ID.

Keep business and private separate.
