If I were him and the application was worthwhile. I'd open a shell company in another country that is Google approved, then release the application under a new name, under that company.
Sure it means jumping through a few hoops to satisfy Google, but it's certainly doable.
- fulafel 13y agoCan anyone provide tips on how to best do this? Are there countries with lightweight bureucracy that let you do this over the web and without spending much money up front? There might be a niche for a publisher company here.
- sergiosgc 13y agoHere in Portugal, you can't open a company remotely, but the bureaucracy is light enough that you can do it in person in one day. After opening the company you have to get a bank account, and for that you need a permanent national address. It'll take a couple of weeks for the bank to issue debit cards and online banking credentials. Two weeks and one trip here and you should be all set up. (for EU citizens; non-EU owners incur extra bureaucracy, namely on the banking part of the process)
- pjc50 13y agoUK Companies house has a pretty good web form: https://ewf.companieshouse.gov.uk//runpage?page=welcome https://ewf.companieshouse.gov.uk//runpage?page=welcome ; there's a £15 annual accounts filing fee and extremely minimal bureaucracy. Getting a UK business bank account might be harder. I've heard of people having trouble with this even within the UK.
