A Wyoming LLC is one of the most private, low-tax, and low-maintenance ways to hold a US business. Wyoming has no state income tax, keeps owners off the public record, charges a small annual fee, and gives single-member LLCs unusually strong protection from personal creditors. It is the default choice for solo founders, online businesses, holding companies, and anyone who values privacy.
Wyoming has no state personal income tax and no state corporate income tax. A Wyoming LLC pays nothing in state income tax on its profits. (Federal tax still applies, and is reported under the EIN your company already holds.) For a profitable single-member LLC, that can mean keeping thousands of dollars a year that a California or New York entity would lose to the state.
Wyoming does not publish a public list of LLC members or managers. When you look up a Wyoming company on the Secretary of State's website, you see the registered agent — not the owner. Your name and home address stay off the public record. This is why "anonymous LLC" and "Wyoming LLC" are searched together so often: Wyoming delivers the privacy other states do not. See our guide on the anonymous LLC for how this works in practice.
Wyoming's annual report license fee is a minimum of $60 for most small LLCs (it is $0.0002 per dollar of assets located in Wyoming, only above the $60 floor — which almost never applies to online or holding businesses). Compared with states that charge $300–$800 a year, Wyoming is one of the cheapest US states to keep an LLC in good standing.
Wyoming statute makes a charging order the exclusive remedy a personal creditor can use against a member's LLC interest — and that protection explicitly extends to single-member LLCs, which many other states do not guarantee. In plain terms: if you are sued personally, it is much harder for a creditor to seize the business itself. For founders holding crypto or investment assets, this is a major draw — see our Wyoming LLC for crypto guide.
Every Wyoming LLC needs a registered agent with a physical Wyoming address to receive official mail. A Wyoming registered agent is included for year one with every ready-made company we transfer, so there is nothing extra to arrange before you start trading.
You don't have to form a Wyoming LLC and then wait for an EIN. Ours already exist. Each company is registered with the State of Wyoming, in good standing, and already holds its IRS-issued EIN — the single thing every bank and payment processor asks for first. The moment your transfer completes, you can open a US business bank account, connect Stripe, and invoice. Forming from scratch takes two to four weeks; a ready-made Wyoming LLC activates the same day.

Bottom line: if a custom name matters more than speed, we'll also register a brand-new Wyoming LLC for $549. If you want to start trading today, buy a ready-made one for $1,000 and skip the entire formation-and-EIN wait.
