In Nevada and Wyoming you can use a nominee to serve as the director and officers, thus keeping your name off the public records. For LLCs you can list the nominee as the manager and again have privacy. You can obtain privacy if you are willing to pay for a nominee each year. Good luck, Garrett

Hello,

I’ve heard over and over that creating an entity in Nevada is the thing to do, what with the liability protection that an entity provides, along with the anonymity and tax advantages Nevada offers.

The anonymity is where my concern lies. My home state is Colorado, and Colorado requires that “foreign corporations” register with Colorado if they do business here, including owning real property.

My questions are these: Doesn’t this destroy the anonymity a Nevada corp offers and if so, why would anyone bother with a Nevada corp? Or are there ways around losing the anonymity?

Nevada provides some anonymity, but not all. For corporations, you do not need to identify individual shareholders, but you must list all officers and directors. For most small corps, this is usually the same as the shareholders.

For an LLC, if it is member managed, the individual members must be filed with the SOS as well.
