Annual Fees & Requirements
Many do business in Wyoming due to the relatively minimal state requirements and fees. To set up an LLC, you are only required to list a registered agent and to pay a $100 filing fee to the Secretary of State. Maintaining the company in future years is simple. You are only required to file a $60 annual report with the Secretary of State.
Maintaining the company in future years is simple. You are only required to file a $60 annual report with the Secretary of State. The annual report is due the first day of the month in which you formed your LLC. There are no other state filings, e.g. there are no state tax returns to file. Wyoming also provides a free Certificate of Good Standing!
For a comparison consider Nevada's LLC. Nevada's Secretary of State fees are $200 the first year and $150 every year thereafter. That is before finding an incorporation and registered agent service. Then consider Nevada has a new business license fee along with a revenue tax on large companies.
The trend is clear. Wyoming is considerably less expensive for doing business. Already have a Florida or Nevada LLC? Then consider moving your company to Wyoming with a continuance. Learn more about Wyoming limited liability company fees and requirements here.
Wyoming LLC Taxes
Limited Liability Companies offer the ability to be taxed as partnerships, corporations, or s-corporations. Each designation maintains the limited liability benefits. This hybrid structure is partly what drives the popularity of LLCs. If you choose the partnership designation, then you will be taxed according to your personal tax rate.
Wyoming has no corporate income tax. Working with us, you can invest those savings directly into your business, rather than giving them to the State. Companies operating in other states stand to benefit the most from forming a WY LLC to act as a holding company. Through loans, leases, royalties, and management contracts you can divert revenue to Wyoming tax-free. Consider the savings from what you paid last year in your home state.

Case Studies Outlining the Benefits of Forming an LLC in Wyoming
Case Study #1
You live in Virginia and run a business not tied to a location, e.g. an online company. The business generates a profit of $30,000 and is unlikely to face a lawsuit or creditor problem.
Scenario 1:
Form a company in your home state. Why is this a bad idea?
- Everyone can see what you own. Nosy neighbors, aggressive creditors, and needy family members. All your information is just a Google search away from being used against you.
- Personal creditors can seize your company, its bank account, and other assets.
- If you elect to be taxed as a corporation then you will pay an extra 6% in taxes.
- If you have a single-member LLC, a judge may decide to pierce the corporate veil and make you PERSONALLY responsible for company debts. Thus eliminating the benefit of an LLC altogether.
Scenario 2:
Form an LLC in Wyoming starting at $99 plus state fees.
- Nobody knows who owns your company.
- Even if a creditor finds out what you own, they cannot break into the company and seize your assets.
- Wyoming respects single-member LLCs (SMLLCs). There is no need to worry about becoming liable for business debts.
- No Wyoming income taxes or reports to file.
The choice in this example is clear. While we use VA, the same concepts apply to limited liability companies in Florida, New York, California, and elsewhere. Forming a Wyoming LLC is preferable due to stronger asset protection laws, anonymous ownership, lower fees, and no taxes. Combine your LLC with our virtual office, so you can focus on what's important... running your company.
Case Study #2
Consider a fitness center in Chicago, IL. The center owns equipment, furniture, and a trademarkable name, among other things. These assets exceed $100,000 and present a liability. Liability waivers won't matter if a jury finds you didn't "properly" maintain or "adequately" disclose something.
Scenario 1:
Form an Illinois LLC in Illinois. The gym earns $50,000 and is taxed as a corporation at 7.75% or $3,875.
Scenario 2:
Form an IL LLC. A foolish customer or bad employee leads to a lawsuit. All the LLC's assets are at risk. Alternatively, your company fails to pay rent. Your landlord seizes equipment and liquidates it.
Scenario 3:
Form a double LLC. One in Wyoming for assets and the other in Illinois for operations. The operating company leases equipment, borrows operating cash, and pays royalties for the trademark. Your company in Chicago is sued, but it owns nothing. The opposing side drops the lawsuit since there's no pot at the end of the rainbow, or you lose the lawsuit, but the company owns no assets and thus nothing is lost.
This diverts $30,000 of the $50,000 in profits to Wyoming. Thus saving $2,235 in taxes. Further, lawsuits and creditors cannot seize the Wyoming LLC's assets because they are held in a separate entity.
This example holds for many industries. From equipment leasing to restaurants and real-estate. Allow us to craft a solution particular to your situation.
FAQs
Privacy & Anonymity FAQs
Yes, Wyoming LLCs are governed by strict privacy laws. Only the organizer of the company, which is us, is known to the Secretary of State. Your name does not appear on the formation documents and will not be requested after, unlike in states like Nevada.
No, your information does not go into any public database. This ensures your personal details remain private and protected.
No, seeking anonymity is perfectly legal. You have the right to keep your financial affairs private, and there is no benefit to publicly displaying your wealth.
Yes, you can use your anonymous Wyoming LLC as the publicly listed owner of another LLC. For example, in Florida, the owner of an LLC is publicly listed, but you can list your Wyoming LLC as the owner, maintaining your anonymity.
This double LLC setup can be used in many, but not all, states. You can follow this link for a fuller explanation of Wyoming LLC privacy.
Wyoming LLC Frequently Asked Questions
Wyoming LLCs are popular for small and family businesses because of their simplicity, anonymity, asset protection, and low fees. These benefits stand in stark contrast to the 'mythical' Delaware company that in truth is good for very few.
A Wyoming LLC costs $100 to file with the Secretary of State, plus any registered agent and handling charges. Our formation services start at $99 plus state fees.
An LLC in Wyoming is taxed the same as every other state. The default for a single-member is a sole proprietorship, and a multi-member is a partnership. Owners may elect S-Corporation or Corporate to reduce taxes as well, but this is generally done after advising an accountant.
A Wyoming LLC can use an out-of-state address on the Secretary of State filing or if operating in another state. There are no Wyoming laws against using a Non-WY address for the company.
