In the article: "Aside: I guess Apple won’t let you submit an app unless you have a registered, legal company?"
Although it does seem to be this way, you can submit an app to the store without being a registered, legal company. The most common route is to just mark yourself as a sole proprietorship using your own name. No need for an LLC or anything. However, this may vary from country to country.
- SeanLockItUp 8y agoI don't think that's true? I had to get a DUNS number to apply to the app store. And it had to be an LLC (I think?) and not a sole proprietorship. I initially just wanted to use a "DBA" (doing business as) but they don't allow those anymore, they used to in the early days but no longer.
- iandev 8y agoAccording to this: https://developer.apple.com/support/enrollment/ https://developer.apple.com/support/enrollment/ A DUNS number is only required for organizations, not individuals.
- SeanLockItUp 8y agoah fair enough, yea I wanted an LLC because everyone told me to be smart and not use my real name and have no legal protections. I suppose I could have just used my name though.
- saagarjha 8y agoCan confirm: in the US, you don't need to get a DUNS number at all, if you're selling individually.
- KeepFlying 8y agoThis is correct, but you must list your full legal name as the store listing, which isnt very ideal in my opinion. In order to list it as a business name you need an LLC or more. No Sol Proprietors allowed.
