i'm wishing to try some iPhone/iPad development with MonoTouch (<3 .NET) and the first step is to create an account/enrol in the Apple Development Program.
The first thing they ask me is if this will be an individual or a company. First up, this is just myself and a mate .. so we don't really have some official company set up etc (please -> any suggestions to do this will be met on deaf ears. If our R&D work out - THEN we'll get that sorted).
BUT - we would like to make it so myself, my mate AND our family/friends can test out our R&D effort - say .. 1 dev, 1 UI guy and 4 or 5 family/friends.
What type of account should I have?
I've read some other SO posts that it's possible to have other people test out apps on the actual device(s) with some magic certificate stuff ... but I just want to make sure I get the correct account set up.
Cheers :)

You can have multiple Apple IDs and multiple developer accounts if you work for multiple organizations. Or you can use one Apple ID for everything, or one for your personal apps and one for your professional apps.
You need an Apple ID with two-factor authentication enabled to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. You can use your existing Apple ID or create a new one depending on your needs. You can join the Apple Developer Program as an individual or as an organization. Make sure to use the app publisher's developer account.
Yes, you can do ad-hoc distribution to up to 100 devices using an individual developer account.
There isn't any difference between an individual account and a company account in terms of what you can do to develop, test, and distribute apps. The only difference is that with a company account, there is a Team Leader who can add other developers to the account and manage their capabilities, but that has nothing to do with distributing the app.
