What are the main differences between Nevada and Wyoming Companies?

  • For one thing there is the stigma that goes with Nevada – good, bad or indifferent – people just assume when you have a Nevada company that you are trying to hide something. Which is the reason Nevada companies get so much bad press.
  • Nevada companies get audited at a much higher frequency that any other State.
  • The fees in Nevada are higher.  State license is $200 – $500 – and item #12 says “you must list ALL officers, directors, shareholders and members. First/last name, DOB, SSN, home address, home phone number and percent of company owned.” There goes privacy!
  • Nevada has a Commerce Tax! Not all business are required to pay the tax but all business MUST file a Commerce Tax return each year to keep business active. When you total all the fees up – will cost between $800 – $1000 yr to just keep your entity active and in Good Standing.
  • Wyoming has the strongest asset protection laws of any State.
  • Wyoming is the first State in Union to recognize LLC back in 1977.
  • Wyoming offers more privacy.
