Wyoming allows incorporation of a company in 1 working day with zero residency requirements. A Wyoming LLC allows a single person to act as both manager and member. A Wyoming entity provides your business with a "US Face" granting you instant credibility with global investors, customers, and financial institutions. You get access to the biggest market in the world.
Zero State Taxes
Wyoming is a true tax haven within the US. There is zero state corporate income tax, zero personal income tax, and zero franchise tax. For non-US residents operating outside of the US, the tax system functions effectively as a territorial one: you only pay federal taxes on income generated within the US. If your business is conducted entirely abroad, State and Federal taxes remain $0.
High Privacy
Wyoming is the gold standard for corporate anonymity. Unlike most jurisdictions, Wyoming does not require the names of members or managers to be listed in the public database. By using a Registered Agent, your personal information remains entirely off the public record, shielding you from unwanted solicitation, identity theft, and frivolous legal "fishing expeditions".
Maximum Asset Protection
Wyoming laws are built to protect the owner. The state offers the strongest "Charging Order" protections in the US, ensuring that even if a member faces personal legal action, the assets held within the LLC remain protected. Wyoming extends these protections to single-member LLCs, making it a fortress for entrepreneurs looking to decouple personal liability from their business assets.
Low Maintenance
Wyoming is designed for administrative efficiency, featuring one of the lowest annual license taxes in the United States (starting at just $60). With no requirement for an office presence within the state and a simple online filing system for annual reports, managing your Wyoming entity is seamless regardless of where you are in the world.
Digital Assets Clarity
Wyoming is the global leader in blockchain-friendly legislation. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, it defines digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, utility tokens, and NFTs, as personal property. This means that you are free to use a Wyoming LLC to protect tangible assets, financial products, and any type of crypto products all within the same entity.

Best v. Worst Company to Incorporate in Wyoming
Smart Move: Asset Protection
Wyoming is one of the best places in the world for asset protection due to its low maintenance fees, strong privacy, and ability to create Series. Here’s why it’s a great choice:
1. Ready To Scale
Sign up for an EMI or POS (Stripe, Paypal etc.) without being classified as 'high-risk' because of your Country of Residency.
You can structure your company as a Master LLC and deploy as many Series as you wish (Lower Government Fees). Imagine having a car collection: You will be able to place every car inside each Series LLC and keep them all legally protected from each other.
2. Simple But Complete
Assets of an LLC are fully detached from their owners. This means that even in a multi-member LLC, personal issues are not a risk.
The mix of low cost, legal protection, and compliance clarity ensures that if you wish to sell an asset, you can sell the entire LLC and transfer the same benefits to the new owner.
It truly covers any type of assets, from Pokemon Cards to NFTs, and everything in between.
3. Affordable
Wyoming entities are pure 'Value Kings'. They are some of the cheapest to run.
0% State Tax is something that, with Physical Presence, can become one of the biggest money-saving hacks.
Most corporate governance documents, e.g. minutes and Operational Agreement, can be prepared by you directly.
Conclusion
With its business-friendly policies and affordable fees, Wyoming offers an ideal environment for asset protection companies. The lack of State taxes, strong privacy, single position holders, and ability to deploy Series at free will, make it a prime destination for anybody looking to protect and grow their assets.
Bad Idea: Dual-Nexus Local Business
If you live in one of the US states and your clients are also located there, having an entity in Wyoming might not be the best idea. Here's why:
1. Double Government Fees
Your entity is incorporated in Wyoming, so you will need to pay for your yearly government fees and follow all the usual reporting steps in Wyoming.
However, as you live, operate, and bill clients all from another State, that State will mark your LLC as a 'Foreign LLC' and so you will need to pay the same annual fees to your State of Residency as well.
2. Double Accounting
This double reporting requirement, unfortunately, also extends to the accounting piece and therefore to two sets of rules.
Wyoming, as well known, does not require filing the Financial Statement with the State but the owner must have those documents.
The State where you live might have stricter rules that will require you to run proper filing or worst: complete full audits.
3. Double Taxes
The 'Dual-Nexus' local business is a true 'Double-Requirement' on everything, including the State taxes that must be paid.
Wyoming respects the 0% State taxes as long as no asset is located in the State and the value is below US$300,000.
Your State of Residency, however, will charge their normal rates and fully consider the Wyoming entity as theirs.
Conclusion
Unless there is a clear distinction on the clients' locations, scope of business, and places where the work is executed, having an entity that triggers the 'Dual-Nexus' status just results in additional costs and reporting requirements for the owner with not a single point of benefit.
Fill out the online form and complete the KYC process.
Keep these points in mind: every individual must provide a copy of their Passport and a Proof of Address in English and not older than 3 months. US residents can provide a valid national ID instead. If required, we can help to translate the documents.
Sit Tight (Up to 48 Hours)
Once you submit the form, we will review them and start the incorporation process.
Keep these points in mind: once the company has been incorporated, we will provide your Articles of Organization. If you need help with the EIN application, make sure to pick the service when placing the initial order.
Build Your Empire
You're all set! Focus on growing your business while we handle the admin work.
Keep these points in mind: If you need help, e.g. to prepare Op Agreement, just text us. You will be in contact with the team as long as your company is live. We are available via email, Telegram, Whatsapp, Discord, and Signal.
