Separate your personal identity from your Shopify business. Use the LLC for Stripe integration and supplier contracts.
By Shafwan Ahmed, Operations & Fulfillment Lead, Anonymousllc.co
Shopify Store Owners face unique privacy and liability concerns. An anonymous LLC keeps your personal name off state filings while providing limited liability protection for business operations. Competitors, clients, and the public cannot trace your LLC back to you through state business search databases.
Wyoming offers the best combination of privacy (no member/manager disclosure), asset protection (single-member charging order), banking acceptance, and low ongoing cost ($60/year). For Shopify Store Owners who plan to raise venture capital, Delaware is the alternative.
Most Shopify Store Owners need a single Wyoming anonymous LLC ($397 all-in). This covers formation, state fee, registered agent year 1, operating agreement, EIN, and 4-5 bank applications. Use the LLC for all business transactions — contracts, invoices, bank accounts, payment processors.
Wyoming $397 all-in | New Mexico $347 total ($297 + $50 state) | Delaware $297 + $110 | Nevada $722 total ($297 + $425 state). Includes state filing, EIN, operating agreement, registered agent year 1, and 4-5 bank applications.
