How To Set Up an Apple Developer Account for Sole Proprietor or Individual

Important Note:

Follow these steps if the category of your business is:
a) Sole Proprietor
b) Single Business
c) Any category that does not qualify for getting a DUNS number

Why do you need to set up an Apple Developer Account?

You need an Apple Developer Account so you can create an Apple app. You will only need to do this process once. 

What are the benefits of having my own Apple Developer Account?

At Passion.io we want you to gain full control of your app and for you to be free to manage it anywhere, anytime. Additionally:

1. You will have access to all the data your app gathers. You can view this directly on your Apple Developer Account (number of users, number of sales, etc.)

2. You will be paid directly by Apple instead of us, and faster!

3. You get full autonomy over your app and the ability to use our powerful software to make any changes to it

4. You get full legal ownership of your app. There is a high risk that Apple will terminate your app if it is not on your own account. If Apple terminates your app, you will lose all subscription revenue from Apple payments. We like to protect your revenue!

Note: Apple is a third-party platform and we have no control over their enrollment process time, which may take 1-2 weeks. If it has been 2 weeks and your enrollment is still in review, you may follow up with Apple Developer Support. Once enrollment is completed, we can assist you from Step 2 onwards.
