An anonymous LLC is a normal limited liability company formed in one of the four US states that does not list members or managers on public records: Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, or Nevada. This guide covers what anonymity actually means (and does not mean), how the four states compare, BOI/CTA status under the March 2025 FinCEN interim final rule, banking realities, common mistakes, and how Anonymousllc.co handles formation end to end.
There is no separate "anonymous LLC" entity type in any US state statute. The phrase is a description, not a legal classification. What it actually refers to is a standard limited liability company formed under the LLC act of a state whose filing system does not require — and whose annual reporting does not require — public disclosure of the entity's members or managers. The Articles of Organization list the registered agent, the organizer, and the entity's name and registered office. They do not list the people who own or run the company. That single design choice in the state's filing schema is the entire mechanism behind every "anonymous LLC" sold on the internet.
The same liability shield, federal tax classification, fiduciary structure, and operating-agreement architecture apply as any other LLC. The IRS does not know or care that your LLC is "anonymous" — it sees an SS-4 with a responsible party named and an EIN issued. The bank does not see anonymity — it sees a BSA-mandated beneficial-owner certification with your name and government ID. The court will not see anonymity once a subpoena issues. What changes is the public-records footprint: the state's business-entity search returns the registered agent's name where, in a non-anonymous state like California or New York, it would return yours.
Anonymity is therefore a property of where you file, not of how you structure the entity. A single-member, manager-managed Wyoming LLC is anonymous by default; a single-member, member-managed Wyoming LLC is also anonymous by default; a member-managed California LLC is not anonymous under any circumstances because California's Statement of Information (Form LLC-12) requires manager and member disclosure within 90 days of formation. See how anonymous LLCs work mechanically for the filing-schema breakdown by state.
Wyoming is the flagship. The state has no income tax, no franchise tax, a $60 flat annual report fee (or $0.0002 per dollar of in-state assets, whichever is greater), and the strongest single-member charging-order protection in the country under Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-503(a), which was amended specifically to extend charging-order exclusivity to single-member LLCs. Banking acceptance is the best of the four — Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, Brex, and most regional banks recognize the WY LLC fact pattern as standard. Total all-in cost through Anonymousllc.co: $397 ($297 + $100 state).
New Mexico is the cheapest. The state requires no annual report, charges no annual fee, and has the lowest filing fee ($50) of any anonymous-friendly state. Members and managers are not disclosed on the Articles of Organization or anywhere else publicly filed. The trade-off is banking: New Mexico LLCs face higher fintech-bank rejection rates than Wyoming LLCs because the state has historically been associated with shelf-company resellers and pop-up entities. Mercury and Relay approve NM LLCs but at noticeably lower rates than WY. Total cost: $347 ($297 + $50 state). See the anonymous LLC cost breakdown for line-item comparison.
Delaware is the venture-capital and Court-of-Chancery option. Delaware LLCs are not disclosed publicly under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (6 Del. C. § 18-201), and the state's Court of Chancery has the deepest body of business-entity case law in the United States. The $300 annual franchise tax is real and non-negotiable. Delaware is the right choice when (a) the LLC will raise outside investment from US VCs who default-expect Delaware on the cap table, (b) the LLC will operate a regulated business where Chancery jurisdiction is meaningful, or (c) the LLC is part of an IP-holding structure. Total cost: $407 ($297 + $110 state).
Nevada is the asset-protection-emphasis pick. Nevada's reverse-piercing case law (Patin v. Ton Vinh Lee, NV Supreme Court 2016) and broad charging-order language make it favorable for high-net-worth defendants. But Nevada is expensive: $425 in first-year state fees (filing $75 + business license $200 + Initial List $150), and recurring annual fees of $350 minimum ($200 business license + $150 Annual List). Total first-year cost: $722 ($297 + $425). Choose Nevada when the asset-protection case law is the primary buying criterion.
A handful of additional states (Ohio, Missouri, parts of South Dakota) offer partial anonymity via manager-managed structures with manager-only disclosure. These workarounds are fragile and may not survive an amended state filing requirement. The four states above are the only ones with structural, statutory anonymity. See the full states comparison breakdown for state-by-state evaluation.
Public-records anonymity protects against passive discovery — the kind of lookup that anyone with a web browser can perform in 30 seconds. Someone running a state business-entity search on your LLC name will see the registered agent's name, the agent's address, the entity's status, and the entity's filing date. They will not see your name. They will not see your home address. They will not see your phone number. That is the protection.
This matters in surprisingly many real-world contexts. Real estate investors who form an LLC to hold a rental property do not want disgruntled tenants pulling Articles of Organization and showing up at their home. Online founders running content or e-commerce brands do not want competitors mapping their portfolio of operating entities. Non-resident founders forming a US LLC do not want their name attached to a US public record that gets indexed by data brokers within weeks.
Anonymity also protects against three secondary but real exposure paths:
The mental model is that anonymity protects the bottom 95% of curiosity — anyone who is not willing to subpoena, sue, or hire an investigator stops at the state filing system. Read the deep-dive at uses of an anonymous LLC for fact-pattern-specific scenarios.
Anonymity is a state public-records construct. It does not extend to federal disclosure, judicial disclosure, or financial-system disclosure. Buyers who confuse these regimes often end up disappointed when they discover the bank knows their name, the IRS knows their name, and any motivated litigant can compel disclosure through standard civil procedure.
Every US bank is required under the Bank Secrecy Act (31 USC 5311 et seq.) and FinCEN's Customer Due Diligence rule (31 CFR 1010.230) to identify and verify the beneficial owners of every business customer at account opening. The bank collects your full legal name, residential address, date of birth, and SSN or ITIN. That data sits in the bank's records permanently and is subject to subpoena by federal law enforcement under standard process. Your LLC is anonymous on the state website; it is not anonymous on the bank's KYC file.
Form SS-4 (EIN application) requires identification of a "responsible party" — an individual with effective control over the entity. That person's SSN, ITIN, or EIN is on the SS-4 and stays on the IRS's books indefinitely. Each year's tax return (1040 Schedule C for single-member, 1065 for multi-member partnership, 1120/1120-S for corporate-election LLCs) reports ownership and distributions back to the IRS. Form 5472 specifically requires non-US-owned single-member LLCs to disclose foreign ownership annually. Anonymity at the state level changes none of this.
Any party to litigation in which your LLC is involved — as plaintiff, defendant, or third-party witness — can compel discovery of ownership. Standard Rule 26 / Rule 30(b)(6) discovery, deposition subpoenas, and creditor-examination procedures in collection actions all reach beneficial ownership. Divorce courts, in particular, routinely subpoena business records to identify hidden marital assets. An anonymous LLC slows discovery; it does not block it.
Under the Corporate Transparency Act, when a reporting obligation applies, FinCEN receives beneficial-owner data including full legal name, DOB, residential address, and a government ID image. The March 21, 2025 FinCEN interim final rule exempted domestic reporting companies, but foreign reporting companies remain in scope, and the IFR is reversible. See our BOI reporting guide and the live status tracker.
If you fail to respect the LLC as a separate entity — commingle funds, sign personally without designating capacity, underfund the LLC, or use it to perpetrate fraud — courts can pierce the corporate veil and attribute the LLC's acts to you personally. Anonymity is irrelevant to piercing analysis. The substantive operating discipline matters more than the filing-state choice.
Choosing among the four is mostly a function of three variables: your priority among cost, banking, and asset-protection case law; whether you will raise outside US investment; and whether you will operate from a high-tax state that will tax you anyway regardless of formation state. Here is the practical decision tree.
Default: Wyoming. Roughly 80% of buyers should form in Wyoming. The reasoning: best banking acceptance, strongest single-member charging-order protection, modest $60 annual report fee, no state income tax, established case law going back nearly 50 years. The $397 all-in price is the lowest total cost among the three economically viable choices (WY, DE, NV), and the recurring cost is $160/year ($60 annual report + $100 RA renewal), which is the lowest among the major anonymous states.
Pick New Mexico only if cost is the dominant constraint. NM is $50 cheaper to form than WY and saves $60/year on annual reports forever. Over a 10-year holding period, the savings compound to roughly $650. If you are running a low-revenue holding entity that may never need a bank account (or will use only Wise, Mercury, or PayPal), New Mexico is rational. If banking matters, the rejection-rate delta makes the savings illusory.
Pick Delaware if you will raise outside US investment. US venture-capital firms default-expect Delaware on the cap table. Forming somewhere else and then re-domiciling to Delaware later costs $1,500-$3,000 in legal fees and creates timing risk during fundraising. If your business plan includes outside equity within 24 months, just form in Delaware now. The $300 annual franchise tax is the cost of avoiding a future re-domestication headache.
Pick Nevada only if the asset-protection case law is your primary buying criterion. Nevada has the broadest charging-order statutes (NRS 86.401) and a body of reverse-piercing case law that favors LLC owners against creditor claims. If you are a high-net-worth defendant in a high-risk industry (active litigation history, professional liability exposure, divorce-court risk), Nevada's case law may justify the $722 first-year cost and $350+ recurring annual fees. For most other buyers, Nevada is overpriced.

Anonymous LLC is one of several privacy structures available to US owners. It is the cheapest, fastest, and most operationally usable, but it is not the only one. Here is how it compares to the realistic alternatives.
A revocable trust holding LLC interests can layer an additional level of privacy — the trustee appears in the LLC's records, not the grantor. But the trust itself is rarely a substitute for an anonymous LLC. Trusts cost $1,500-$5,000 to draft, require annual maintenance, and do not provide liability protection (revocable trusts are transparent for both tax and creditor purposes under Markham v. Fay, 9th Cir. 1995). The right pattern is usually: form an anonymous Wyoming LLC, then have the trust own the LLC interest — privacy-on-privacy. Trust alone, without an LLC, is structurally weaker.
A holding company is a multi-entity structure where one parent entity (usually itself an anonymous LLC) owns one or more operating subsidiaries. The privacy mechanism is the same — the parent anonymous LLC blocks discovery — but the operating subsidiaries can be formed in non-anonymous states for licensing or regulatory reasons. This pattern is common for real estate (one anonymous parent owning multiple property-specific LLCs), online brands (one parent owning multiple operating brands), and family-office structures. It is not a substitute for an anonymous LLC; it uses an anonymous LLC as the privacy core.
Some buyers ask whether they can form in California, then "foreign-qualify" into Wyoming to gain anonymity. The answer is no. Foreign qualification is the opposite direction — it is when a Wyoming LLC registers to do business in California. The home state's filing schema controls disclosure. A California LLC is publicly disclosed in California regardless of where it foreign-qualifies. The only way to gain anonymity is to form in an anonymous state to begin with.
A nominee is an individual or service that appears on filings in your place. Nominees were common in pre-2024 offshore structures (BVI, Belize, Seychelles). In a US context they are almost always a bad idea: they either (a) fail to provide actual liability protection because the nominee is not a real party in interest, (b) maintain records subject to subpoena, or (c) are outright scams. The four anonymous-friendly states deliver structural anonymity without nominees, so the nominee layer adds risk without adding protection. See our nominee services warning for the detailed case against.
BVI, Cayman, Nevis, and Cook Islands entities offer real anonymity but at very different cost and friction: $2,000-$10,000 to form, $1,500+/year to maintain, much harder banking, and now in-scope for the FATCA / CRS / BOI regulatory cluster. For US-resident or US-operating founders, a Wyoming anonymous LLC at $397 delivers most of the privacy value at 1/10th the cost. Offshore makes sense only for very specific asset-protection or jurisdictional-arbitrage cases.
Anonymity in marketing copy is one thing. Anonymity in the actual state filing record is what matters. Here is what an interested third party can pull from each of the four state business-entity systems for an anonymous LLC formed there, as of 2026.
Visible publicly: Entity name, filing date, registered agent name, registered agent address, principal office address (which can be the RA's address), entity status, organizer name (the formation service, not you), Articles of Organization PDF. Not visible: Members, managers, beneficial owners, your name, your home address. The annual report does not require member or manager disclosure either. Wyoming's filing schema is the cleanest of the four — there is no field on the Articles or the annual report that even asks for owner identity.
Visible publicly: Entity name, filing date, registered agent name, registered agent address, organizer name. Not visible: Members, managers, beneficial owners, principal office address (NM does not require it on Articles), your name. New Mexico has no annual report at all, so there is no recurring filing where exposure could later occur. This makes NM, in some senses, the most quietly anonymous: there is simply less filed paperwork to scrutinize.
Visible publicly: Entity name, filing date, registered agent name, registered agent address, entity status, franchise tax status. Not visible: Members, managers, beneficial owners, principal office address. Delaware's annual franchise tax filing also does not require member disclosure for LLCs (this differs from Delaware C-corps, which do disclose officers on the annual report — a frequent point of confusion).
Visible publicly: Entity name, filing date, registered agent name, registered agent address, business license status, Initial List filer (which can be the formation service). Visible with one footnote: Nevada requires an "Initial List" within 30 days of formation, which historically disclosed managers. Modern practice is to file a manager-managed LLC with the formation service or a privacy-aligned manager appointed in the operating agreement, so the manager-on-record is the service entity, not you. This is the area where Nevada is slightly weaker than Wyoming — anonymity is preserved but requires correct manager-managed structure.
For each of the four states, the registered agent is the public face. This is why the RA service quality matters as much as the formation. See the registered agent guide for what to look for.
One of the more common Anonymousllc.co intake patterns is the buyer who originally formed in their home state, accumulated several years of public-records exposure, and now wants to rebuild privacy. This is harder than starting anonymous from day one, but it is solvable. Here is the playbook.
Pull every public record currently tied to your name across all states where you have formed entities. This includes state business-entity searches, fictitious business name (DBA) filings (often county-level), real-property tax records (for any LLC-owned real estate), and federal court PACER records. Most buyers are surprised to find 3-5 entities still on file from prior ventures that they had forgotten about.
For each entity, decide: dissolve it (if the business is dormant or already wound down) or domesticate it to an anonymous state (if it is still operating). Domestication is a state-to-state move — you file Articles of Domestication in the new state and a Certificate of Termination in the old state, and the entity continues its existence under the new state's law. Wyoming, Delaware, and Nevada all accept inbound domestications. New Mexico's process is more limited. Domestication preserves contracts, EINs, and history while moving the public-records footprint.
Once the entities are out of the exposed state's filing system, the existing scraped data continues to live on data-broker sites until you opt out. The major ones to address: Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages, PeopleFinder, Intelius, MyLife, FastPeopleSearch, and TruePeopleSearch. Each has its own opt-out process; collectively they account for ~70% of search-engine results for your name + LLC name. Budget two days of intermittent work to file opt-outs.
After data-broker removal, residual exposure lives in news articles, court filings, and PACER results. These are not removable but can often be de-indexed via Google's Personal Information Removal request. For court filings specifically, motions to seal can sometimes work for divorce or sensitive litigation but rarely for ordinary business cases.
Going forward, every new entity should be anonymous from formation. Every new bank account should use the LLC's registered office (not home) for statements. Every new contract should be signed in the LLC's name, not yours. Every new vendor account should bill the LLC, not you. The privacy gain compounds over time only if the operational discipline is consistent.
End-to-end rebuilds typically take 60-120 days and cost $2,000-$5,000 depending on the number of entities. Anonymousllc.co handles dissolutions ($150 + state fees), domestications ($297 + state fees), and end-to-end rebuilds on a custom-quote basis.
The biggest source of confusion among new anonymous LLC buyers is what happens at the bank. The short version: the bank knows everything. The state filing system knows nothing. These two facts live independently — the state does not share data with the bank, and the bank does not publish data to the state. So you remain anonymous to the public while being fully identified to the bank. This is, on inspection, exactly what most buyers actually want.
Under the Customer Due Diligence rule (31 CFR 1010.230) — finalized 2016, in effect since 2018 — every US bank must, at account opening for a non-exempt legal-entity customer, identify and verify each beneficial owner of the entity. A beneficial owner is any individual who directly or indirectly owns 25% or more of equity, plus one "control prong" individual exercising significant managerial responsibility. The bank collects: full legal name, date of birth, residential address, and an unexpired government ID number (passport or driver license).
The bank stores the data in its CDD file for the lifetime of the account plus five years after closure (31 CFR 1010.430). It is used for ongoing transaction monitoring under the Bank Secrecy Act, OFAC sanctions screening, and Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filings. The bank does not publish this data, share it with credit bureaus, or sell it to data brokers. It is only disclosed in response to subpoenas, law enforcement requests under standard process (often 314(a) requests), and audits by the bank's federal regulator (OCC, Fed, FDIC).
Your anonymous LLC is fully anonymous in the state filing system and fully identified in the bank's KYC file. A journalist, competitor, or random litigant cannot subpoena Mercury or Relay without a court-issued process and a justiciable cause of action. The Bank Secrecy Act file is not a public record. It is a private record held by a regulated institution. The distinction matters: anonymity is about who can find you with curiosity, not about who can find you with subpoena power.
The four primary banking pipes for anonymous LLCs in 2026 are Mercury (largest, strongest acceptance rate for US and non-US founders, no monthly fee), Relay (multi-account architecture for sub-budgeting, strong for operators with multiple cost centers), Bluevine (interest-bearing checking, traditional-bank UX), and Brex (corporate-card-focused, requires meaningful revenue). For non-US-resident founders, Mercury and Relay are the only realistic options. See the anonymous LLC banking deep dive for fact-pattern-specific guidance.
The Anonymousllc.co bank-application service submits to 4-5 banks in parallel as part of every formation, raising the overall approval rate from ~60% (single-application) to ~90% (multi-application). This is included in the $397 all-in price.
The customer base for anonymous LLCs is broader and more legitimate than the stereotype. Most buyers are ordinary US or non-US founders solving an ordinary privacy problem. Here are the most common fact patterns we see at intake.
Roughly 30% of intake. A landlord forming an LLC to hold a single rental property does not want tenants pulling state records and finding the landlord's home address. A flipper holding three or four properties does not want competitors mapping the portfolio. Anonymous LLC + property-specific child LLCs is the standard structure. See asset protection LLC structures for the multi-entity pattern.
Roughly 25% of intake. Anyone running a business that attracts public attention — a YouTube channel, a Twitter brand, an e-commerce store, a SaaS app — has an asymmetric exposure problem. One determined harasser or one viral content moment can put your home address into public discoverability for years. An anonymous LLC removes the state-records vector.
Roughly 20% of intake. Non-US founders forming a US LLC for Stripe, PayPal, or US-customer access want a clean separation between their foreign identity and their US entity. Wyoming and Delaware are the most common picks. See the non-resident founder guide.
Roughly 10% of intake. Buyers consolidating ownership of multiple operating entities under a single anonymous parent. The parent is a Wyoming or Delaware anonymous LLC; the children are operating entities in the operating states. This is the cleanest structure for someone running a portfolio of businesses.
Roughly 8% of intake. Single-purpose vehicles holding investments, intellectual property, or real estate. Often paired with a revocable living trust as the LLC member. Nevada is overrepresented in this segment because of the asset-protection case law.
Roughly 5% of intake. Physicians, attorneys, real-estate professionals — anyone in an industry where being a named-defendant is statistically routine. Anonymous LLCs holding personal investment assets break the link between professional identity and personal wealth.
The remaining 2% is miscellaneous — single-purpose vehicles, escrow arrangements, charitable structures, and niche fact patterns. There is no single "right" buyer for an anonymous LLC; there is a wide range of legitimate uses.
The single most common reason anonymous LLCs end up not anonymous is not a state-filing flaw — it is operator error. Here are the mistakes that recur in intake, ranked by frequency.
Banks ask for a "business address." If you put your home address, that address will appear on tax filings, vendor invoices, and credit-bureau records. Use the registered agent's address or a separate virtual office. The IRS will accept the RA address as the entity's mailing address. Vendors will too.
If you form in Wyoming but operate primarily from California, California will likely assert nexus and require you to foreign-qualify in California — which then puts you on California's public record (and triggers the $800/year franchise tax). The anonymity itself is not destroyed (CA's foreign-qualification filing still does not require member disclosure), but the exposure increases. Understand your nexus footprint before assuming WY-only solves everything.
Every contract should be signed: "John Smith, Manager, Anonymous LLC Co." — not "John Smith." If you sign personally, you become personally liable on the contract regardless of LLC anonymity. The signature line matters as much as the formation state.
This pattern is heavily marketed and almost always a bad idea. Nominees either fail to provide liability protection, maintain subpoenable records, or are outright frauds. The four anonymous-friendly states deliver structural anonymity without nominees. See the full nominee warning.
Anonymity is a state public-records construct. It does not extend to federal regulators, banks, or courts. Buyers who believe otherwise sometimes engage in conduct (failure to disclose accounts on Form 8938, FBAR, or in litigation) that creates much more serious problems than the original privacy concern.
If LLC funds go through your personal account or personal funds go through the LLC account, courts can pierce the veil. Anonymity is irrelevant to piercing analysis. Run a separate LLC bank account with separate accounting from day one.
Wyoming's $60 annual report is the cheapest in the country, but if you miss it for two consecutive years, the state administratively dissolves your LLC. Dissolved LLCs lose the liability shield retroactively. The fix is to file a reinstatement promptly, but the gap year is a legal vulnerability. Set a calendar reminder. The Anonymousllc.co RA service includes compliance reminders.
Under the FinCEN interim final rule effective March 21, 2025 (90 FR 13688), domestic reporting companies — US-formed entities — are exempt from Beneficial Ownership Information reporting. Foreign reporting companies — entities formed under foreign law that have registered to do business in any US state — remain obligated to file. This is a live regulatory area, and the IFR is reversible by future Treasury rulemaking.
What this means for an anonymous LLC formed in Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, or Nevada: No current BOI filing obligation, regardless of whether the owner is a US resident or a non-US resident. The IFR draws the line at where the entity was formed, not who owns it. A Wyoming LLC owned 100% by a non-resident foreign national is still a domestic reporting company and currently exempt.
What this does not mean: The CTA itself (31 USC 5336) remains in force. The IFR is a regulatory exemption, not a statutory one. Treasury has discretion to revise the IFR after the public comment period closes. If the IFR is rescinded, the most likely transition is a 30-90 day filing window for previously-exempt entities. Monitor the live BOI status tracker rather than assume the current exemption is permanent.
The Anonymousllc.co BOI Initial Filing service ($150) handles end-to-end filing for any client whose obligation reinstates, including beneficial-owner data collection, ID image upload, and FinCEN portal submission. See the BOI reporting pillar for the full regulatory backdrop, the 23 statutory exemptions, the foreign-reporting-company specifics, and the current enforcement state.
Anonymousllc.co prices anonymous LLC formation two ways for the same end-state. Buyers who do not care which state delivers anonymity should use the all-in framing. Buyers who know they want a specific state should use the state-specific framing.
Anonymous LLC $397 all-in. Wyoming-fulfilled on the backend. No state-fee surprise at checkout. This is the default for anonymity-focused buyers. Sold at /services/anonymous-llc-formation/.
The formation workflow is built around fast intake, parallel filing, and concurrent bank applications. End-to-end timeline for most buyers: 5-10 days from WhatsApp intake to first approved bank account.
5-minute conversation. We collect: legal name, mailing address, three preferred LLC names, member structure (single-member or multi-member), use case (real estate, online business, holding, etc.), and residency status (US or non-US). For non-resident founders, we also collect passport details for EIN and bank applications. No long form. No email back-and-forth. No portal logins.
We check name availability in the chosen state and file Articles of Organization within 24 hours of intake. Wyoming and Delaware accept within 1-2 business days. New Mexico is 1-3 days. Nevada is 1-3 days plus the Initial List filing. For expedited Wyoming filings, we offer same-day acceptance at no extra charge.
Operating agreement is drafted from a template tuned to the chosen state and the member structure (single-member, multi-member, manager-managed). Standard templates ship to your inbox for signature; custom OA drafting is available at $199 for buyers with non-standard provisions.
EIN is filed concurrently with state acceptance. US-resident applicants get an EIN within 1 business day via the IRS online portal. Non-resident applicants get an EIN within 5-7 business days via fax filing with Namira as third-party designee. There is no requirement that the responsible party be a US citizen or have an SSN; an ITIN or foreign tax ID is sufficient.
Once EIN is issued, we submit applications to 4-5 partner banks in parallel. For US-resident founders: Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, Brex (revenue-dependent). For non-resident founders: Mercury, Relay (only two realistic options in 2026). Multi-bank submission raises the overall approval rate from ~60% (single application) to ~90% (multi-application). Approvals typically come back in 3-8 business days.
Once a bank approves and you fund the account, you have an operating anonymous LLC: state-recognized entity, EIN, bank account, operating agreement, registered agent. You are anonymous on state records, fully compliant with federal regulation, and operationally ready. Year 2+ ongoing cost: registered agent renewal $100, plus state annual report (WY $60, DE $300 franchise tax, NV $350, NM $0). See anonymous LLC maintenance for the recurring-cost detail.
