Is it possible to change the seller name that shows up in the app store (name that shows up above app name)? Currently it says my name, but I want it to show my business name. Does apple allow this change? If so, how?
If you want to change your developer program membership from a personal to corporate membership, contact Apple. Many developers who started out as individuals have since changed to a corporate membership.
Apple may allow changing your developer enrollment if you incorporate your business under your desired company name and have legal incorporation papers ready to show Apple.
When you signed up, you had an option to select a business or a name and it said you couldn't change this in the future.
Please try to follow Apple's faq on iTunes connect:
Frequently Asked Questions:
It appears that my Team Information Update has been processed. When will my Company and Seller names as displayed on the App Store be updated?
Your Company and Seller names should generally be updated on the App Store as soon as the contract(s) initiated through your Team Information Update have completed processing. Due to certain specific system processing issues, this may take a few hours, so please check the App Store to see if the information has been updated following your Team Information Update completing processing. Your Team Information Update completing processing is indicated by your updated contracts (as indicated in the Team Information Update email sent to your Team Agent) moving into the Contracts In Effect section of the Contracts, Tax and Banking module of iTunes Connect.
If your information has not been updated on the App Store more than 48 hours after your Team Information Update completing processing, click here to contact us.

I have submitted my app and it is accepted from a company profile. But on app store it is showing an owner name instead of company name? Can anyone please define what is the main reason of this thing?
Thanks in advance
Seller Name Guidelines
First it is necessary to understand the guidelines for a seller name on the App Store. Your options for seller name depend on which kind of Apple developer account you initially setup. You can either create an account as an individual or a company/organization. As an individual the only option is your legal name. As a company or organization you are required to use your legal entity name. In order to register as a company/organization a D-U-N-S number is required which ensures your company or organization is legally registered.
If you wish to change your seller name, you must operate within those restrictions. Apple hasn’t always enforced these guidelines, but as the App Store has matured these policies have become required. Also, it doesn’t seem possible to convert an Apple developer account registered as an individual to an account registered as company/organization. If that is something you need, you should try App Transfer which is explained below.
Contact Apple
The easiest way to change your seller name is to contact Apple developer support. If there is a typo or inaccuracy in your seller name they should be willing to change it. Back before I released Card Share my individual account had a seller name for a fictitious entity that did not exist. Since it wasn’t my legal name, Apple support was willing to make the name change. I contacted support and within 24 hours my seller name was changed and updated in the App Store. The results from this method may vary, but I highly recommend direct communication with Apple as a first approach.
Here is the email to contact Apple about seller name changes and other iTunes related support:
itunesconnect#apple.com
Taken from: http://www.brynbodayle.com/changing-app-store-seller-name/
Only one option for you to contact Apple Support.
Submit your request on below link:
https://developer.apple.com/contact/submit/
If you registered as a Company, you should see the Company Name on the App Store.
The only way to change that is by contacting Apple Support.

I am preparing my app for AppStore review.
App is supposed to display products of specific company, customise them and send to sales department.
The app by default does not store any data and one has to download it. Access to this data will be restricted for sales department employees only (user/pass administrated on server).
I've read the guidelines, but didn't found my answer: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/
Is it possible to get to appstore with app, that does not have any content until password is given?
I can create user for apple review team and then they'll get the content.
Provide demo account details:
in iTunes Connect, go to My Apps, select your app, then the version
scroll down to App Review Information
Enter details in the "Demo Account" section, and possibly additional details in the Notes section.
However, as others have pointed out, full App Store publication may not be the best option for such an app. You may want to consider Enterprise distribution (if used only by your own employees) or B2B/VPP distribution (which is through the App Store, but is not visible to everyone).
There should be no problem putting your app into the app store - there are quite some apps in the store now that require a login before they do anything, and are only of use for a selected audience. In the worst case you can add some general info views that are publicly accessible to show some value for everybody.
Enterprise distribution has its own hassles (and benefits), so if you don't have to go down that road I wouldn't.
In any case, provide the Apple Testing Team with some test login details.

Heres the issue, Im 17 years old and my uncle created an account for me for publishing my apps because Im very interested in developing in iOS, obviously the account is at his name because at first I tried to pay one at my name with his credit card and I got rejected because the names didnt match so we made the one of him.
My recently publish is at his name (in the sellers name), the copyright its at my name but the sellers dont and I want to know if its possible to change it for mine or maybe not my name, only a nickname.... and if dont, where can I send an E-mail or something, please you can imagine how frustrating is that the sellers name is not yours when you put all your effort..... Thanks a lot!!
You can only change the developper name by contacting Apple support :
see this blog article
and this answer on SO :
Changing or Removing Developer Name in App Store
You may want to look into the iTunes Connect Developer Guide, specifically the section about transferring apps to another organization: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/TransferringAndDeletingApps.html
Disclaimer: I haven't used this method myself. I've transferred apps by letting and old developer account expire, since it was the most convenient, the least hassle, and the only option available at that time. But that may not be the case for you, so definitely look up the transfer option.

I have several apps in the App Store under a certain company name under an individual account.
When I do a search for my apps, I can see
-Name of App
-Company Name that I entered
As I'm doing some other apps under another company name with a partner, am I able to add the new apps to this same account, and have the apps display another company name?
-Name of New App
-2nd Company Name
Or do I have to get another individual account in order to display apps under a different company name? :/
Thanks.
As far as App Store account is about money & taxes, you have to create separate account per company name (can you create a bank account that can be accessed by two different companies? nope!).
Besides, new feature was introduced recently, App Transfer. So you can move your apps from company to company later, regardless initial submission.
Get the company to pay for its own account and then invite you as their developer.
If you are working for a company, that company is selling the app, not you.
How do you have your company name as seller if its a individual account?
