Apple and Google developer accounts for companies: an organisation, not a person

Opening a developer account under a staff member's name is quick, and it becomes a problem the day that person leaves. An organisation account belongs to the business, shows the right seller name and, on Google Play, avoids the closed testing requirement for personal accounts. We take you through the D-U-N-S lookup, verification and setup so both accounts are approved on the first attempt and your team can start working straight away.

In short

Companies should publish apps through an organisation account so the store lists the company as the seller and the account does not depend on one employee. Apple and Google both require a D-U-N-S number for this, which Dun & Bradstreet issues free of charge. appsubmitter.io guides you through registering both accounts and sets up roles and access.

Your benefits

Your company as seller

The store shows your company name as the developer, not the name of an individual.

Fewer verification loops

We check that company details, the D-U-N-S record and your website match before you apply, which removes the most common cause of delays.

Clean role setup

Admin, development, marketing and finance get only the permissions they need in App Store Connect and Play Console.

Independent of people

The account stays with the company when employees or agencies change.

What Apple and Google require from organisations

To join the Apple Developer Program as an organisation, you need a separate legal entity, a D-U-N-S number, a public website on your own domain and someone with legal authority to sign agreements. Membership costs 99 USD per year. Google Play also requires a D-U-N-S number and identity verification for organisation accounts, with a one-time registration fee of 25 USD.

The D-U-N-S number itself is free, and many companies already have one without realising it. Apple offers a lookup tool to check. If a number has to be issued or corrected, allow a few business days.

How we set things up

Most delays come from small mismatches, such as a different spelling of the company name or an old address in the D-U-N-S record. So we start by comparing the data.

Apple often calls the named contact to confirm that they can act on behalf of the company. Google asks for identity and organisation documents and checks them against the D-U-N-S record. Knowing this in advance means the right person is available and documents such as the commercial register extract and ID are ready, instead of waiting on follow-up requests.

  1. We compare your commercial register entry, D-U-N-S record and website legal notice, and request corrections where needed.
  2. We agree on who owns the account and which roles everyone else receives.
  3. You register using our step-by-step guide while we answer any follow-up questions from Apple and Google.
  4. Once approved, we set up agreements, tax and banking details and team roles.
  5. We create API keys so releases can be automated.

What happens once the accounts are live

With the accounts in place, appsubmitter.io can prepare code signing, store listings and submissions under your company name. If you already have apps in a personal account, we can plan a transfer into the new organisation account.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a D-U-N-S number as a sole trader?

Apple requires it only for organisations that are separate legal entities, so sole traders usually enrol as individuals. On Google Play the choice depends on the account type, which we decide together.

Does the D-U-N-S number cost anything?

It is free for use with Apple and Google. Paid express services from third parties are not necessary.

Can jocapps create the account for us?

The account must be in your company's name and registered by an authorised person. We prepare everything, guide the registration and handle the technical setup afterwards.
