For Sole Proprietors

As a sole proprietor, your DUNS number has a special type and you will likely need additional support from Apple to complete the conversion.

Its actually super fast and helpful. https://developer.apple.com/contact/topic/select - click on "Membership and Account" and then click "Other Membership and Account Questions" and use the phone option.

Note: We have also seen that Sole Proprietors can have trouble when completing Apple's required tax information after conversion.

According to our contacts at Apple Developer Support, this is a known part of the workflow that requires assistance from Apple Finance. Please use this link: https://developer.apple.com/contact/finance/ and use the subject "Tax and Banking Setup" to submit details of your problem.

Reset Bamboo's Permissions

After you have completed the conversion process, we will need you to reset Bamboo's permissions in your developer account.
Please visit the Users & Access section of App Store Connect and modify our permissions to have the "Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" permission.
