MenuWhat software (API, plugin, etc.) should I use for my website to assist in complying with COPPA policies?
This question has no further details.
Answers
With WordPress this is fairly easy to handle both COPPA + FTC + Facebook (along with other Ad Network) requirements.
Write up your boilerplate text for all your disclosures.
Write a wp-cli script to inject all the various documents as individual named posts.
Some of my clients have me go one step more + actually generate a boilerplate footer with a menu of all these items.
Since this is in script form, you can also run it against any existing site + if... say... your TOS post is missing, then add it.
If you only have one Website, just search for COPPA boilerplates.
It would be helpful to understand a bit more about the problem you're trying to solve.
You want this software/API/plugin/etc to audit your own website for COPPA compliance? You want user-generated content to comply?
I am happy to help, but additional details on what you're actually trying to solve are needed.

Where to incorporate a new software as a service busines?
I'll keep try to keep this answer brief, but there are several factors and nuances that can be discussed in more depth. Where you decide to incorporate partly depends on what your future goals are with your company. Companies that plan to seek venture capital or go public typically choose Delaware as the state of incorporation, and usually choose a C-Corp. Delaware has a very well developed body of law surrounding corporate governance and that provides comfort and more certainty to future VC investors. If you're not planning to seek VC money any time soon, an LLC is a smart decision because of the tax benefits it can provide to you as the owner. It sounds like you want to grow your company on your own without outside financing. If that's the case, I would recommend forming your LLC in California. Regarding California vs. Delaware, one benefit to forming your LLC in California is that you can avoid paying a registered agent fee which can cost anywhere from $100-200 a year. If you plan to seek venture capital down the road, you can reincorporate in Delaware.JI

Shall we register our company before testing the MVP?
I do not believe you should incorporate your company yet as there is a chance you will scrap the idea or iterate on the assumptions after analysis. I suggest you run your initial testing on a very minimal MVP to see if there is interest. I would go further in saying that you should not even allow people to pay only have them click on the payment option because at that point you know that it would be a conversion. The ONLY thing you are proving with an MVP is validation of an idea. Only make the mousetrap front end and see if you can drive users to where you want and stop. Even if you frustrate some people, it was worth it as you now know for sure people will buy or do what it is you wanted. Schedule a call with me to find out more. God knows I have done this enough times. Good luck JoshJJ

If I am planning to launch a mobile app, do I need to register as a company before the launch?
I developed and published mobile apps as an individual for several years, and only formed a corporation later as things grew and it made sense. As far as Apple's App Store and Google Play are concerned, you can register as an individual developer without having a corporation. I'd be happy to help further over a call if you have any additional questions. Best of luck with your mobile app!AM
