You can see all Brand Accounts you own or manage from the YouTube Brand Account dashboard.
Once you create a new account, you'll notice you don't yet have the option to customize the url (e.g. youtube.com/user/businessinsider).
YouTube restricts the use of custom YouTube channel urls to channels with at least 30 videos and 100 subscribers. New accounts aren't eligible until they have existed for at least 30 days.
A YouTube channel can be created from both a standard Google Account or a G Suite account with the exception of G Suite Education. G Suite Education accounts are not allowed to create YouTube channels.
