Whenever I want to try GCP, during signup I get stuck at "Account type Business" and the need to enter a VAT number. It hints there's Individual Accounts, but I see no way how to set it to that?

The issue is VAT in each country in the EU (which I assume you're based in). We don't (currently) collect VAT, but as businesses are required to represent that they'll pay it in their home countries, we can allow you to use it as a business. It pains me (and others) deeply that we "block" individuals like this, but that's how it is today. Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

  That is a weird restriction given that I can buy from the Play Store, etc. But thanks for your response. Back to AWS it is.

    For what it's worth: which country are you in?

I think if you are trying to create a trial account while being logged in into your personal Google account, it should give you that option. disclaimer: personal opinion. I work at Google but not related to this area.

  This is what I tried (logged in via private browsing window), but no luck.

    Can you send me the screenshot of the business account type part of the screen to my email sergey.sambros | gmail.com?
