/Applications is owned by root, and has rwx privileges only for the system, and rx for group (admin) and all. This means you will need to have your installer (with root privileges) to create your company/application directory inside. As an alternative, you can certainly place your directory in /Users/Shared. That directory has rwx privileges for everyone. I believe it also has the sticky bit set, which means that the “user” that created the file(s) must be the one to delete them.
Both are good places to put things that must be shared among multiple users. Note that ~/Library/Application Support is not a good place for sharing things since it is not accessible by anyone but the ~ user.
