# Apple Business Developer Account

{% hint style="info" %}
If you already have an Apple Developer Account **for your business entity,** skip this section.
{% endhint %}

## Why?

Apple requires that all apps that utilize real money games are submitted under a *business entity* Apple Developer account, rather than the more traditional individual or sole-proprietor developer account. You can find more resources on Apple Business Developer Accounts [here](https://help.swiftic.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004366625-Enrolling-as-a-company-for-the-Apple-developer-program).
