First of all, it matters who you are.

The needs of an Entrepreneur with a great idea will differ greatly from that of an Enterprise with an immediate requirement. What to look for, in either case, is easy access to the many different resources required to build your app, plus the skill-sets and proven ability to make it happen.

Fundamentally an iPhone Application can be broken down into 5 core areas of focus, they are;

1.Ideation

2.Creative Design

3.Development & Testing

4.Project Management

5.Marketing & Promotion

Underpinning this, of course, will be your revenue model. Free app or paid app, iAds or no adds? Only you will know the answer to those questions.

If all you have is an idea, then you're going to need a budget for some professional services. Anybody involved in mobile application development will gladly discuss ways in which they can ‘get involved'. However; an NDA is not always a good place to start if you are looking for people with passion to turn your idea into a reality, especially if you are seeking an equity split of some kind.

Start ...
... by defining your budget and openly discuss it with your prospective iPhone Developers or Application Development Companies. Try not to get into a bidding war with Freelancers as this will drive the project and undoubtedly risk compromise.

If you have a strong online presence and can manage the project internally, then perhaps all you need is a reliable developer and some wow factor. A freelance creative expert can produce an excellent set of visuals within a few short hours, although you'll want more than just a great look.

You're most likely to need an experienced iPhone Developer or a Application Development Team, a Mobile Marketing Strategy and a process to ensure you meet your deadline. It should be about delivering on time and within budget; whatever that budget might be.

It is unlikely that reputable iPhone Development Companies will be willing to enter into an equity split arrangement, however, Freelancers may well be open to the suggestion of a joint venture.

If you are on a budget of less than £3,500 you can and should weigh up your options, assuming you can lead the project and have done all the necessary ground work.
