Step-by-step: what happens from intake to bank account.

You message Anonymousllc.co on WhatsApp. We confirm New Mexico is the right state for your use case, collect your LLC name preference, and send a Stripe payment link for $347 total — $297 to Anonymousllc.co plus $50 NM state filing fee. If you are undecided between states, we walk through the decision framework — NM is right for budget-first buyers with manageable banking needs.
After payment, we file your Articles of Organization with the New Mexico Secretary of State under NM Statutes § 53-19-7. The filing requires:
Members and managers are NOT disclosed. This is the foundation of New Mexico's anonymity. The $50 state filing fee is paid to NM SOS on your behalf, bringing your total to $347.
Once the Articles are accepted, Anonymousllc.co applies for your EIN (Employer Identification Number) directly with the IRS. If you have a US SSN, EIN is issued same-day online. If you do not have an SSN (non-resident founders), EIN is applied via fax and takes 2-4 weeks.
While the EIN processes, we draft your custom operating agreement. New Mexico does not require this to be filed publicly, but banks require it for account opening and it governs your LLC's internal operations. The OA includes member privacy provisions, distribution rules, management structure, and dissolution terms.
Once EIN is issued, Anonymousllc.co submits bank account applications to 4-5 US banks concurrently. New Mexico LLC banking is harder than Wyoming — expect some rejections. Our multi-bank strategy compensates for this. Typical approval timeline is 5-15 days after EIN.
Unlike Wyoming ($60 annual report), Delaware ($300 franchise tax), or Nevada ($350 in fees), New Mexico requires no annual report and no annual fee. Your only ongoing cost is registered agent renewal (~$30-50/year).
