Wyoming is a good place to incorporate.
In fact, when you think 'limited liability company' you should take
off your hat, pause a while and thank Wyoming. That is because in
1977, Wyoming became the first state to pass legislation authorizing
the creation of a special kind of Wyoming Corporation: The limited
liability company.
This was the first LLC legislation in the entire country. It was not
until 1982 that a further state authorized the LLC, and it took a
further six years, until 1988 to be precise, for the IRS to issue a
ruling that Wyoming LLCs would be taxed as partnerships instead of as
corporations. This ruling encouraged other states to enact similar
statutes, and in less than a decade after the ruling, all states had
followed suit. Wyoming can be very innovative, all things considered.
The state adopted the Wyoming Corporation Act providing a unique set
of rules for people wanting to incorporate in this state. It may yet
be another far-reaching initiative. Although the statute may not be
quite as jealously protective of identities and assets as Nevada, it
definitely is as willing to promote business. So, what does the
Wyoming Corporation have to offer?
Corporate finance officers will always want to hear this: The state
does not impose state income tax on Wyoming-corporations. In addition
to not charging corporate income taxes, it does not levy any
franchise taxes or taxes on corporate shares. When you are organizing
your Wyoming Corporation, your Articles of Incorporation may provide
for an unlimited number of stocks. You do not have to state a par
value though. Once the annual fee for maintaining your Wyoming
Corporation falls due, it will be calculated based on the number of
shares of no par value. For fees on assets, the annual fees are
calculated on the value of corporate assets located within the state
only, and will not include any assets located outside Wyoming.
In terms of governance, the law does not require that a board of
directors be established for Wyoming Corporations with less than
fifty shareholders; in fact, Wyoming Corporations with very few
shareholders are not required to conduct meetings, keep minutes of
shareholders' meetings or maintain any of the documentation and
paperwork you would normally associate with the operations of a board
of directors.
You may wonder if the state provides effective asset protection to
Wyoming corporations. You don't have to submit any stockholder lists
and you don't have to issue any share certificates. Corporations are
never required to disclose the names of shareholders on any share
certificates. Wyoming corporations don't allow bearer shares though.
The law allows nominee shareholders to represent the real owner. This
affords the true or beneficial owner a measure of privacy. Some
investors may still prefer the bulletproof anonymity offered by
bearer shares instead of a nominee structure.
There are instances where the state courts may allow the corporate
veil of Wyoming corporations to be pierced and may hold the officers
and/or shareholders to be personally liable. Generally, the
commingling of, or failure to segregate, company funds and other
assets, as well as fraud and failure to provide adequate
capitalization to the corporation, will initiate such action.

Enjoy anonymity and privacy in Wyoming
The more information about you that appears in the public record, the easier it is for you to become a target. Wyoming has no requirement for the names of shareholders to be filed with the state. It asks only for a simple "Annual Report" which requires disclosure of only those assets located within the state of Wyoming and the name of one person, usually the one who submits the report.

Wyoming corporation or LLC offers...
A Wyoming corporation or LLC offers its officers and directors the highest degree of protection from lawsuits filed by disgruntled creditors or over zealous plaintiff attorneys.

Liability Protection
An affordable and very effective method to shield your assets from attack is to transfer your rental property to a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Holding title to investment property through an LLC limits the liabilities of the business to only those assets held within the LLC. In the same way as shareholders of a corporation are shielded from liability, a properly formed LLC will guard its owners from lawsuit liability, including liability from acts of its employees and agents.
