Ask HN: What is the best way to sell sofware, legally, as an individual dev?

5 pointsby walclickabout 5 years ago
Is there any legal way to sell software as an individual dev, without a company?<p>I want to test a SaaS product but I don&#x27;t want to set up a company yet. I just need a temporary method to handle payments &amp; legal stuff until I validate the product.

In the US you can run a business as a sole proprietorship. Sign up for Stripe and start selling subscriptions to test things out.<p>You should probably check in to sales tax in the US and Europe that you might be responsible for. Checkout TaxJar. In the beginning this is less critical as most have minimums that apply, but worth checking in to.<p>Once you have revenue you can form an LLC or other entity.

This varies by jurisdiction. It’s nearly impossible to answer your question without knowing in which countries you and your target audience are.
