Anonymous LLC is a limited liability company that does not reveal the valid owner of its assets. These types of business entities are often used by those who want to keep their names or other personal information away from public records.
Why Do People Set Up Anonymous LLCs?
Here is a list of reasons why you might consider forming an anonymous LLC for your business:

Frequently Asked Questions about Anonymous LLC
Is forming an anonymous LLC expensive?
Not at all. It costs about the same as forming a regular LLC. The only difference is that you don’t name yourself as the owner of the LLC in the official records.
If I do this, is my identity protected from anyone who might want to sue me or garnish my wages?
Yes. No one can take away any of your assets because they don’t know what assets belong to you. They don’t even know who you are! So, if someone sues your company for something, they can never get your assets. And since they don’t know who you are, they can’t even garnish your wages!
Finally, Can I open a bank account in my LLC’s name?
Yes. You need to provide a copy of the Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement and proof of address
