To publish an application on the Apple application store (App Store), it is necessary to define whether the account will be an Individual (Individual) or a Legal Entity (Company) account.
If the account is an Individual (Individual), your name will appear below the app name (and in some other places) in the App Store. In this type of account, the following procedure is not necessary.
Now, if it is a Legal Entity (Company) account, your company name (LTDA, SA or EIRELI) will appear below the application name (and in some other places).
And, to open a Company Account at Apple, the company must acquire the “DUNS Number” (Data Universal Numbering System).
So come on!
1) What is the DUNS Number?
The DUNS Number is a common business identifier code used for international trade transactions. Almost an international CNPJ.
As your company will be transacting with Apple, Apple has made it mandatory to obtain this number to create a Company Account.
