Do I need an LLC for my indie app business?▼

An LLC for an indie app business provides liability protection but may introduce complex tax filing requirements. Entity selection depends on your revenue level, US or international context, and specific financial goals.

How does the Apple Small Business Program impact indie app revenue?▼

The Apple Small Business Program reduces App Store commission from 30% to 15% for eligible indie developers, directly increasing net revenue. This program requires tracking eligibility thresholds and assessing its impact on your overall financial planning.

What is the best way to track indie app revenue and plan tax reserves?▼

Tracking indie app revenue requires structured bookkeeping templates that separate income streams and calculate tax reserves. This ensures accurate financial planning and prevents cash flow shortfalls during tax season.

How do I hire contractors to scale my indie app operations?▼

Hiring contractors for indie app operations involves defining scope, budgeting for freelance rates, and integrating payroll into your bookkeeping. This scales development capacity without the overhead of full-time employees.
