I'd label this channel as an Entertainment channel
I don't even remember the last time we talked about tech here
It's more of MTV here with live commentary of Disaster Dates and Pimp My Ride

"You need to create because a fulfilled life requires an active participant. Consumption with no creative outflow, saving posts for later and never actually implementing anything ferments your potential and feeds your inner critic, which further continues this cycle of being scared to create and be seen creating because your fear that others will judge you the same way you judge yourself and also judge others. Creating makes you honest and that honesty is what replaces judgement with understanding because consumption raises your standards but creating anchors them with the cost of effort. Create, if only to remind yourself that everyone is experiencing being a human for the first time, including you."

π How I Created a US LLC (Wyoming) to Publish iOS Apps as a Company (From Ethiopia)
If you want your App Store publisher name to be a company (not your personal name), hereβs the exact path I used:
LLC β EIN β D-U-N-S β Apple Developer (Organization)
βΈ»
𧩠1. Register a Wyoming LLC
Choose a company name
Look if it is not taken here: https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/FilingSearch.aspx
Register the LLC here: https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/
I used Wyoming Agents as my registered agent.
Wyoming Agents: https://www.wyomingagents.com/
Why this route:
Simple onboarding
Handles filings cleanly
Works well for non-US founders
π° Costs:
$100 β Wyoming state filing (one-time)
~$25β$100/year β Registered agent
$63/year β Wyoming state annual fee
$100/year β Wyoming Agents reporting service (optional)
β You can skip this if you file the annual report yourself
βΈ»
π§Ύ 2. Get Your EIN (Most Important Step)
This is where most people get stuck.
If you donβt have a US SSN/ITIN, you must use IRS Form SS-4.
π Download:
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss4.pdf
βΈ»
β οΈ How to Fill SS-4 (Critical Fields)
Line 1 β Your LLC name (e.g., Novarch LLC)
Line 4 β Use your registered agent address
Line 7a β Your name
Line 7b β Write βForeignβ
Line 8a β Yes (LLC)
Line 8b β 1 member
Line 9a β βOtherβ β write:
Foreign-owned US Disregarded Entity
Line 10 β Started new business
Line 16 β Software / App Development
βΈ»
π Sending the Form (Sensitive Part)
You are sending this directly to the IRS.
Options:
Fax (recommended):
+1 304-707-9471
Phone (fastest):
+1 267-941-1099
βΈ»
π§ Important Notes (From Experience)
Add a cover page:
Foreign-owned US LLC EIN request
Company: [Your LLC Name]
Responsible Party: [Your Name]
Email: [your email]
If you donβt include a return fax number, they may reply by mail
Make sure:

Address matches your registered agent
No typos (this causes delays)
β±οΈ Timeline:
3β7 business days (fax)
Instant (if successful via phone)
π Output:
You receive a CP575 letter (EIN confirmation)
Keep this forever.
βΈ»
π’ 3. Get a D-U-N-S Number
Apple requires this.
Request (free):
https://www.dnb.com/duns-number/get-a-duns.html
β±οΈ Takes: 1β5 days

βΈ»
β οΈ Donβt Ignore This
Every year:
Wyoming annual fee β $63
IRS filing (Form 5472 + 1120) β required
