Setup anonymous company for upload mobile apps?

[Starlights]

Hello

- I need setup anonymous company for upload apps to google app store and apple app store?

- I have low budget and i will not sell app in the store and i will not use any in app purchase.

Do i need a bank account in the same country as my business even that i will not sell any apps?

Please any great advice?

Thanks

why does it have to be anonymous and why would you need a bank account? will you make any money from this app?

If you are on a low budget you don't need to be anonymous, you waste your time.

- Yes i will make money from the apps and have advertising but not admob. Because admob i will need bank from same country that my business stays for get payouts and i not interested in such advertising company as admob.
- I not sure if google and apple want i add a bank account when i create a business account at google and apple for upload apps and have people download them FREE. But i almost sure i need a phone number and adress
- I want to be anonymous like many others in this forum.

Is there anyone who could help me out or at least come with some suggestions?

Thank you

Why do you want anonymous? To avoid tax? Privacy? How do you want to be paid out if you don't have a bank account? IF you were thinking of using your personal account, then how can that be anonymous.

Knowing more about what you hope to acheieve allows people to answer you better

- I want anonymous to get privacy.
- I want to know if i need bank in same country that my business placed for create a google business app developer account for upload apps to google play store. (will not sell apps free to download)
- I want to know if i need bank in same country that my business placed for create a apple business app developer account for upload apps to apple app store. (will not sell apps free to download)

If anyone here run mobile apps they know what i talking about.

I was thinking about New Mexico LLC but i not sure if that will working at all and probably i need have a phone number and valid adres , But i need a expert on this to give me suggestions and i will advertising my apps not use google and apple own advertisements feature.

Will new Mexico LLC work great or not for upload apps to the app stores?

Thank you

You don't need a bank account to upload apps in the free category (but as soon as you include a in-app purchase system you will)... But yes, you will need a phone number, address, etc. New Mexico is a cheap solution, just don't forget to get an EIN from the IRS and fill form 5472 at the end of the tax year.

Also to be honest, looks like you are first thinking in the structure before even asking Apple/Google how do they work which is not worth it (just as a recommendation, not intended to offend)

Problem i see is that i need a apple ID , how to make a Apple id anonymous?

eadeveloper do you recommend some set up other then new mexico LLC? or will this work fine?

 

[exprtadvisrdev]

If the Apple ID scares you then you won't be able to do this in the anonymous level you want legally.

New Mexico LLC will be pretty private but you won't get an 100% anonymous LLC (again: legally)

- I want anonymous to get privacy.

Privacy from who? Just so customers cannot find out who you are? So doesn't matter in bank / tax office / processors / apple / google know you
Or privacy from authorities?

 

[user9823671]

Problem i see is that i need a apple ID , how to make a Apple id anonymous?

why?

But if you want that level, you are not doing it cheaply / legally at all and probably open yourself to lots of potential problems

OP mind to get back to clarify all the questions? I'm a app developer myself but never thought about privacy in that regard.
