Have you created a proprietorship to sell apps on Apple’s App Store? [closed]

Question

I’m almost ready to offer an IPhone application on the Apple App. Store and make my millions. ;)

For those of you that have gone before, have you formed a business (LLC or proprietorship) to keep things legal?

Answer 1

In the end, it really depends on your plans for your app development. If you're intending to make this a "real" business you'd absolutely want to incorporate for the legal protection and tax advantages. If this is just a hobby/something you're doing in your spare time then I wouldn't bother.

We've used LegalZoom a couple of times to incorporate; plan to spend <= $2K or so to get it done from soup-to-nuts.
