How it works
Here is what the process looks like from your side. Nothing is rushed unless you need it to be, and you can stop or pause at any step.
- 1
Reach out safely
Start by sending us a confidential note through our contact form, or email us directly. Share only what you are comfortable sharing -- there is no judgment and no pressure. Our goal is to understand your situation so we can recommend the right level of protection. If you have a DV advocate or attorney, we are glad to include them.

Structure recommendation tailored to your safety
Based on your situation, our partnering attorney recommends a structure designed to separate your identity from your property records. For most survivors, this is a two-layer Wyoming LLC: a holding company that owns a property-state LLC, which in turn holds the deed. Wyoming does not list LLC members in its public business registry, so the chain ends at the LLC name -- not your name. The attorney explains exactly what this protects and what it does not.

Secure payment
We process payment through Stripe, a secure payment platform. We never see your card number. If cost is a barrier, please tell us -- we work with shelters and legal aid organizations to offer reduced and pro bono pricing through our survivor assistance program. You should not have to choose between safety and affordability.
- 4
Identity verification
We verify your identity before filing. We want to be transparent about why: this step protects you and protects the integrity of the LLC. It ensures no one can fraudulently form an entity in your name, and it satisfies the know-your-client standards we maintain voluntarily. Your verification documents are encrypted, stored securely, and never shared beyond what is required by law.

Formation -- built for urgency when you need it
We file your Wyoming LLC (or two-layer structure) with the Secretary of State, obtain your EIN from the IRS, set up registered agent service, and deliver your operating agreement. Standard processing takes 5 to 7 business days. If your situation is urgent, rush processing (24 to 48 hours) is available. We know that for many survivors, speed is not a convenience -- it is a safety concern.

Ongoing protection and monitoring
Formation is the beginning, not the end. For Privacy Package and Full Service clients, we proactively remove your information from major data broker and people-search sites -- the other common way abusers locate addresses. We monitor for re-listings and alert you. We also send compliance reminders for annual reports and registered agent renewals so your LLC stays in good standing and your protection stays intact.
A note on what this is -- and what it is not
A Wyoming LLC is one layer of protection for keeping your address out of public property records. It works best as part of a broader safety plan that may include a P.O. box for mail, a state Address Confidentiality Program, careful social media practices, data broker removal, and the support of a trained DV advocate. Our service includes (at the Full Service tier) dedicated attorney involvement for structure guidance. Higher tiers also include data broker removal. We are proud to be part of your safety plan, not your only line of defense.
Privacy from public property records is not the same as privacy from government agencies. Federal law enforcement, the IRS, and your bank will know who owns the LLC. The protection is from public-facing records -- the county deed office, tax rolls, and online property searches that an abuser might use.
