Coaches (business, life, fitness, mindset) run their coaching practice through an anonymous LLC. Course platforms, group programs, and 1:1 contracts under the LLC.

Wyoming anonymous LLC. Single-member disregarded entity initially; S-corp election once net coaching income exceeds ~$60k/yr. The LLC signs client agreements, receives Stripe / Kajabi / Teachable / ThriveCart payments under EIN, and pays contractors.
Coaches frequently work with high-profile clients who require confidentiality, and the coaching industry has rising consumer-protection scrutiny. An anonymous LLC means client contracts and state filings don't surface the coach's personal home address.
Lowest cost. No state income tax. S-corp election compatible. Best banking acceptance for coaching practices with course revenue, Stripe payments, and contractor pay.
| State | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming (recommended) | $397 | Best balance of cost, anonymity, banking acceptance. |
| New Mexico | $347 | Cheapest. No annual report. Banking is harder. |
Coaching itself is not a licensed profession in most US states, but if you make medical / mental health / financial advice claims, you can cross into regulated practice without intending to.
Once net coaching income consistently exceeds ~$60k/yr.
Yes. Course content is intellectual property — the LLC owns it under work-for-hire if produced for the LLC or by the LLC's owner in their capacity as such.
US LLC can serve global clients. International Stripe payments are routine.
