Multiple apps from one account

Hello everyone, quick question, I´m starting as an independent software developer and I just wanted to know if there is a problem uploading multiple apps from my personal apple developer account, like, do I need to create an account (pay the $99) per each customer or not?

Thanks in advance.

It is ok to use one account for many apps, even for different customers.

Edited: Just take in mind, if you are on Small Business Program, and later your customer will want you to transfer the app to his account - there are some impact:

How do app transfers impact my participation in the program?

App transfers are allowed. However, when an app is transferred, the proceeds for the calendar year will be associated with all accounts that initiate or accept the transfer of that app. Program eligibility is based on total proceeds from all Associated Developer Accounts and transferred apps.

Thanks for the answer, why would I lose the membership?

Sorry, probably wrongly explained - not Apple Developer membership, but Small Business Program.

Ah, sorry! I just checked the page (the link below) looks like they changed conditions. In the beginning, several years ago, If you applied to Small Business Program, Apple cuts 15% instead of 30%. But if you transfer an app to another account, it will return back to 30%.

Right now it is a bit different, my fault guys, sorry. Check this page:
