What's the best way to have a business anonymously?


I would like to have a business without disclosing the business owner is. Is this possible?

You can create such companies in the Vanuatu Islands and probably in many other places as well. A lawyer will be your registered agent and the only person who knows who you are.

From some quick research it seems you can make an anonymous company in Wyoming and New Mexico as well.

It would really depend on where you are trying to incorporate. My understanding is this is possible but you will need to pay a lawyer to do all the legal work for you and sign their name on the documents. I doubt this would interfere with most governments finding out who you are unless you are using multiple companies registered in different countries.

Why? Sounds sketchy. You will find it much harder to do business

There are still some countries where you can do that.
