Something I have always wondered about with those "anonymous companies" is - what if someone wants to buy the company at some point?
Wyoming LLCs are typically used for "self-employment" purposes, simple trading activities etc. If you ever want to sell anything, it mainly is the customer based, domain, stock it trademarks. All of them are typically transferred without the need to change the ownership of the company.JustAnotherNomad said:

You mean those with totally fake owners? I think you only had this for utter nullshit such as selling fakes or holding fake IP in the form of dubious pr0n only used to send out cease and desist letters to German individuals in hope of scoping the last 300 before the lawyers licence gets cancelled. Or VAT missing trader fraud.JustAnotherNomad said:

You could use an anonymous company setup for the trading company where...marct said:
I suppose it is, but I would prefer privacy out of the box. I'm more concerned about easy public disclosure versus government awareness.
I'd like to spend something reasonable on it provided it does what I need it to. I know that's not a great answer, but I'm largely unsure what cost I'm looking at. In an ideal world there's the operating company, which will feed all the money off to the holding company. That holding company would be the UBO of the operating company, and I'd sit as UBO of the holding company.

If you just take out the money as salary on a loan slip you won't have troubles with that. I don't think we speak avoiding taxes overall it is about anonymity right?PhantomOf ThePits said:
Keep in mind if UBO shareholder is NOT a Swiss resident, there's a risk of UP TO 35% Swiss withholding tax on dividends

Therefore, as non Swiss resident, look for example in Liechtenstein or such
