When I created my iPhone developers account I created an individual account, because it appeared that company accounts were strictly for corporations. I created the individual account using my company name, and there's even a "Company Name" field in my account profile. From all appearances, it would appear that I was going to do business with Apple as an individual, using my "company" name--the essence of a sole proprietorship. What you don't discover until you go to set up your iTunes account, is that all of that is ignored. Your "Legal Name," which for an individual account is your personal name, is what will appear in the iTunes store. Period, end of story, not exceptions. -- James Bucanek
