Hi there...

Lately we "all" (not sure for this) getting emails like this... and i want to ask...

about DUNS number and why this is required for companies... as I can understand is only for business/prof account and not for personal...

1. What benefits you have if you have business acount at Google Play Developer ?
2. What exactly is DUNS number ? (it says is free, but in Greece, have it a different company name ICAP... so i don;t know it is real free or need to pay something to them, or if gonna asking every some months for statistics of company)

Any idea ?

DUNS is required in app store if you are a company. I created one, even i live in Greece. It's completely free and it's an easy procedure.

Hi there!

a. Did you contacted ICAP via email?
b. what info-papers need if you are a company / or personal business ?
c. do they ask every some month statistics - and need to send them ?

edit:
d. Is it free for first year... and then need to pay (next-years) ?

pre-Thanks for your answers :)

If i remember well again, VAT number, ID and starting business documents (έναρξη απο ΔΟΥ). They called me at my phone number in order to verify some details.

hmm... now when you are going to DUNS site and selecting Greece / company -> redirecting to ICAP site (Greek representative)
ICAP CRIF - DUNS Number - ICAP CRIF

As App Store mentions, "If your legal status is a sole proprietorship/single person business, enroll as an individual"
Maybe it is the same in Google.

I think that i should not enrolled as company, as i am single person business too

Well, you know - before 1 year had company - but now transform it into single-person business.... outside of Greece, there is no such thing... all named as companies... LTD is the smallest as I know...

I received that mail, too but I have only one free app in the store. I don't have nor want to have an business account. I simply wait for the reminder and see what they exactly want as I don't run any business nor have a company.
