How to think about this comparison

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.
