iOS app how to submit using client's profile - ios

Question

We are developing an iOS app and we are using our company iOS Dev account (our provisioning profile) for that.
Now the client wants to submit the app using his Apple account.
If our client doesn't have a Mac I think we'll have to create the ipa file and send him. But I'm not sure how I can create the distribution file using their provisioning profile.
Can you please explain what is the process followed in this kind of a scenario?
Do I need to create another apple account and add it to the client's iOS Dev account and create the ipa file using that provisioning profile or is there any other way to do this?

-> Member Center
-> Click certificates
-> where you can see the app id (It is in left side of the window).If you click app id in center page you can see the old app id's.
-> In above click + symbol for adding new app id for your app
Go to key chain access.If you do not find out that,just enter in spot light.It will come.
->Click the key chain access and go to toolbar of the Mac
->where you can see the Apple Symbol,Keychain Access,File,Edit,View,Window,Help
->Click Keychain access

once you click that you can see the options.
->Then click Request a Certificate from certificate Authority.
