By Shafwan Ahmed, Operations & Fulfillment Lead — Anonymousllc.co
| Dimension | Series LLC | Holding Company |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Formation cost of parent + minor per-cell admin. | Cost of forming one parent LLC plus each subsidiary LLC. |
| Formation | Single 'parent' LLC with isolated 'series' or 'cells'. Available in DE, NV, TX, IL, others. | Parent LLC owns 100% of subsidiary LLCs that hold operating assets. |
| Anonymity | Inherits state's anonymity profile (DE and NV anonymous; TX is not). | Yes — typically formed in WY or NV for full anonymity at the holdco layer. |
| Tax | Each series can be treated as a separate entity for federal tax purposes (debated; case law evolving). | Pass-through; consolidates K-1s up to parent. |
| Asset protection | Cells are isolated from each other's liabilities if administered properly. | Strong — isolates operating risk in subsidiaries while sheltering passive assets in parent. |
Anonymousllc.co forms anonymous LLCs in Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada — the four US states that allow members and managers to stay off public state records. The right choice depends on three things: where you live, what you're trying to protect, and how much you want to spend on ongoing fees.
Wyoming ($397 all-in) is the safe default for almost everyone — strongest single-member charging-order protection, no state income tax, banking is easy. New Mexico ($347 total) is the cheapest, but banking partners are pickier with NM LLCs. Delaware ($407 total) is the right call if you're chasing VC money or want Court of Chancery jurisdiction. Nevada ($722 total) is for buyers who specifically want NV's asset-protection reputation and don't mind the $500/yr ongoing fees.
Every Anonymousllc.co formation includes state filing, registered agent year one, operating agreement, EIN, and applications to 4-5 US banks (Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and others depending on your founder-country pattern). No upsells, no surprise fees, no dashboard — just WhatsApp the founder for status updates.
