The Nevada LLC Act (NRS Chapter 86) governs formation, anonymity, charging-order protection, and the liability shield for every Nevada LLC. This Anonymousllc.co reference walks through the controlling sections - § 86.161, § 86.263, § 86.371, and § 86.501 - the $425 formation cost, the $350 annual maintenance, and how Anonymousllc.co keeps a Nevada LLC anonymous, with primary-source citations to the statute throughout.
NRS Chapter 86 governs Nevada LLCs. § 86.501 codifies charging-order exclusivity for single-member and multi-member LLCs alike.
Open full text →The Nevada LLC Act is codified at NRS Chapter 86 (§ 86.011 through § 86.590) and governs the formation, management, anonymity, and asset protection of every Nevada LLC. Nevada pairs the Act with a corporate-veil standard that is difficult for creditors to pierce. Chapter 86 sets out the core rules a founder needs: § 86.161 for the Articles of Organization, § 86.263 for the Initial and Annual List, § 86.371 for the liability shield, and § 86.501 for charging-order exclusivity. Each is covered in its own section below. Nevada's draw is asset protection - a strong statutory shield plus an established asset-protection legal community - accepted in exchange for the highest annual maintenance among the four anonymous-LLC states. Anonymousllc.co forms a Nevada LLC for $297 plus the $425 state fee, $722 total.
NRS § 86.161 requires the Articles of Organization to state the LLC name, the registered agent's name and Nevada address, the management structure, and any dissolution date, filed with the Nevada Secretary of State through SilverFlume. Members are not required on the Articles. The state cost at formation is $425: a $75 filing fee, a $150 Initial List, and a $200 State Business License, all due together. Anonymousllc.co files the Articles and the Initial List as one package. Because § 86.161 omits any member-listing requirement, the Articles themselves reveal no owners. The disclosure question shifts to the Initial and Annual List under § 86.263, which is where Nevada anonymity is engineered.
NRS § 86.501 makes the charging order the exclusive remedy of a member's creditor, and it extends that exclusivity to single-member LLCs - putting Nevada in the top tier with Wyoming and Delaware for single-member asset protection. A charging order lets a creditor receive distributions the LLC actually makes to the debtor-member, but it does not let the creditor seize the membership interest, force a distribution, or take over management. The creditor waits for distributions that the manager controls. Exclusivity is the key word. In states without it, a creditor of a single-member LLC can ask a court to foreclose on the interest; § 86.501 forecloses that path in Nevada. This statutory certainty is the core reason asset-protection buyers accept Nevada's higher annual cost.
Nevada anonymity runs through a manager-managed structure: the Articles under § 86.161 require no members, and a manager-of-record - a corporate manager rather than the individual owner - appears on the Initial and Annual List. The beneficial owner stays off the public record. The nuance is § 86.263. The Initial List and Annual List require listing managers or, for a member-managed LLC, managing members. A member-managed Nevada LLC therefore discloses its members by year two, defeating anonymity. The fix is to form manager-managed with a manager-of-record supplied at formation. The owner keeps full control through the operating agreement while the public List shows only the manager. Anonymousllc.co defaults every Nevada LLC to this structure.
A Nevada LLC files an Annual List and renews its State Business License each year, and the two together are the highest recurring maintenance among the four anonymous-LLC states. The Annual List reports the LLC's managers or managing members under § 86.263. The Annual List and the State Business License renewal ($200 under NRS § 76.100) are due by the last day of the LLC's anniversary month. Missing the deadline triggers a late penalty and, at 12 months, revocation of the LLC's good standing. Anonymousllc.co sends a 30-day WhatsApp reminder before each deadline and offers a hands-off Annual Report Filing add-on so the List and license renewal are handled without the owner tracking dates.
NRS § 86.371 codifies that members and managers are not personally liable for the debts, obligations, or liabilities of the LLC solely by being members or managers. Nevada courts uphold this shield except where an owner commits fraud or commingles personal and business funds. The practical protection is the same corporate wall an LLC promises everywhere, backed in Nevada by a body of case law that treats the veil as hard to pierce. Respecting formalities - a separate bank account, a signed operating agreement, no personal use of LLC funds - keeps the shield intact. Combined with § 86.501 charging-order exclusivity, § 86.371 gives Nevada a two-layer defense: creditors of the business cannot reach the owner, and creditors of the owner cannot reach the business. That pairing is Nevada's asset-protection thesis.
A Nevada LLC costs $425 in state fees at formation - $75 Articles, $150 Initial List, $200 State Business License - and $350 per year in recurring maintenance. Anonymousllc.co's all-in Nevada price is $722 ($297 service fee plus the $425 state fee). The $722 formation package includes the registered agent for year one, the operating agreement drafted to Chapter 86 defaults, the EIN, and 4-5 US bank applications. The registered agent renews at $100/year thereafter. Nevada's $350 annual maintenance is the highest of the four anonymous states - compared with Wyoming's $60 minimum license tax, New Mexico's $0, and Delaware's $300 franchise tax. That cost is the price of Nevada's asset-protection statutes.
Choose Nevada for its asset-protection statutes and case law - NRS § 86.501 single-member charging-order exclusivity plus the § 86.371 shield - when strong protection outweighs cost. Choose Wyoming or New Mexico when lower annual maintenance is the priority. Nevada's edge is a mature asset-protection legal community and no information-sharing agreement with the IRS on state tax data (Nevada levies no state income tax). Buyers structuring against litigation risk value that certainty. The trade-off is the $350 annual maintenance versus Wyoming's $60 and New Mexico's $0, plus the more deliberate manager-managed structuring needed to keep the Annual List anonymous. Anonymousllc.co forms all four states and matches the state to the buyer's risk and budget.
Anonymousllc.co files the Articles of Organization on SilverFlume, files the Initial List and State Business License, appoints the registered agent for year one, and defaults to a manager-managed structure with a manager-of-record to keep the Annual List anonymous. The package is $722 total. The workflow then drafts an operating agreement to NRS Chapter 86 defaults, obtains the EIN from the IRS (online for US residents, by fax for non-residents), and submits applications to 4-5 US banks including Mercury, Relay, and Bluevine. Year two runs on reminders: a 30-day WhatsApp alert before each Annual List and business-license deadline, with an optional Annual Report Filing add-on for hands-off renewal.
