If you don't have one already, set up an LLC for your development/consulting company to operate under. Until you get traction or funding, keep the app under your LLC. When you get funding, set up a Delaware C -- your investors will want it set up right so wait until then and have an experienced startup attorney do it properly. Regarding equity, unless they are a 50/50% co-founder, don't be doling out equity here and there. When you set up the Delaware C, your attorney will set up a vesting schedule for co-founders, employees, etc.
