Why New Mexico?
Little known Affordable Anonymity includedNew Mexico limited liability companies are especially attractive to international entrepreneurs because they combine maximum privacy with minimal administration. The state deliberately does without annual franchise taxes and burdensome reporting obligations. Unlike in many other US states, the names of the members do not have to be made public, a decisive advantage for discreet business people. New Mexico's legislation not only protects the owners' anonymity but also offers a robust legal framework for a wide range of business models. Online retailers, digital entrepreneurs and international investors in particular benefit from the modern, unbureaucratic structure. While established LLC locations such as Delaware or Wyoming are increasingly viewed with a critical eye, New Mexico is seen as a "fresh jurisdiction" with comparable advantages but less regulatory headwind.
The character of the state
Santa Fe is the oldest capital city in the US, founded in 1610, a decade before the Mayflower even set sail, and to this day it governs from adobe buildings, as if someone had decided that hurrying never improved anything. Through Albuquerque, Route 66 draws its longest neon mile; beyond it glow the white dunes of White Sands, and about Roswell it is best to keep quiet with a smile. "Land of Enchantment" is written on the licence plates, and the enchantment lies mostly in being left in peace.
That is exactly the business model for your LLC: formed in two days, no annual report, no franchise tax, no name in the register, and the lowest price among our favourites. New Mexico asks for something once and then never again.

Tax treatment in the United States

Asset protection
STANDARDThe usual liability protection of an LLC applies. For targeted asset protection we recommend Wyoming, the state with the strongest statutory protection in the US.
Rating: our firm's assessment based on the company law, not legal advice for your individual case.
Anonymity
New Mexico offers anonymity. The details of the New Mexico LLC's member are neither published in the company register nor transmitted to it. Only the details of our firm or of the service providers we use are filed.
For an honest perspective: banks, payment providers and authorities may ask for proof of identity regardless of the company register. Anonymity in the register means discretion towards the public, not invisibility towards institutions. More on this under anonymity.
