> You can avoid the 12 beta testers if you create an LLC

Yeah that is an easy option. In my jurisdiction that costs above 500€ for legal paperwork (notarized stuff) and now you have to submit double-entry bookeping records and tax forms every year. THAT is not an alternative to anything. Dissolving costs around 300€ just the notary appointment. Again, am in Europe.

You can create a Wyoming LLC without any physical presence, although you’ll have to pay a service to receive any legal/court notices in state and you’ll still have to pay any taxes owed in your own country. Wyoming has no income tax, and any US federal taxes from future revenue would be owed whether you’re an LLC or not.

The cost of the registered agent is usually the biggest cost (unless you can find someone who will do it for free).

		Doesnt matter. In most EU countries, you are not taxed where the company is registered, but where the majority of "management decisions" are made - in that case, where the sole director of that company lives. That is why any LLC founding still results in the same paperwork as if you would found a corporation in Europe. I know 100% for sure in Germany in Spain, you will have to declare your majority stake in your tax filings and thus trigger tax filings for the LLC - even if that LLC owes 0€ in taxes, paperwork must be filed. Such a stupid discussion to have in the first place, suggesting forming a buisness entity to fast track your hobby app into the play store.
