6,880 PointsGoogle payments center, do I need a company?
I have finished my first app and I'm going to publish it soon. However, when I tried creating a Google payments center profile, it says I need to enter a legal business. They require a company name, adress etc. Do I actually need to start up a company to sell my app for 1$?

The legal requirements can vary greatly depending on where you live so you'll want to check on those first. Googling "start a business in <your state, province, country here>
should get you started.
There is a Treehouse video from the Freelancing course that covers common business types in the US you can choose. https://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-freelance/creating-a-long-term-business/business-entity-choices

6,880 PointsThank you. Looks like I dont need to own a company to sell my apps in Sweden, however, I made up a company name that I most likely will use in the near future if/when i start my own.
