As a business owner, maintaining your anonymity is potentially an important point of consideration. Indeed, you already have a lot going on, and the last thing you need is someone soliciting you because they've found your personal information online. What a headache! Still, if you ask us, this shouldn't have to be something that's a major struggle, and there are actually ways that you can potentially maintain your anonymity as a business owner in Colorado. As such, today’s guide outlines the core things you should know about whether you can create an LLC and maintain your anonymity as a business owner in Colorado.

Can Owners Have Anonymity for an LLC Registered in Colorado?

If you have recently registered and launched a business in Colorado, you may have wondered about whether you need to provide personal information of the business owners. Well, depending on how you approach this, you may not need to provide personal information - and this can help create an anonymous LLC.

If you do provide your personal information, it’s likely that this will be publicly displayed. However, if you do not, your business’s registered agent address may be displayed instead.

This can potentially vary from case to case, so we strongly recommend getting professional support when forming your LLC instead.

How to Get Anonymity as a Business Owner

It’s not necessarily possible to apply for anonymity in every state; however, it’s always worth looking at the option as a possibility. As such, you’ll need to do your research in your specific state to see whether anonymous LLCs are allowed.

Once you’re confident that your state allows anonymous LLCs, you’ll want to get in touch with an advisor to find out more about the process of forming an anonymous LLC. They should be able to help you determine the right approach for your needs. Sometimes, this may be as simple as not providing the information, but in other cases, there’ll likely be specific forms to complete.

Final Thoughts

Unfortunately, some states’ laws prevent businesses from anonymizing their owners’ details. This can be a distressing discovery, invariably, especially if you’ve already launched your business and would prefer to remain anonymous.

However, if you’re just in the planning stages, you can maintain your privacy by registering your business in a state that doesn’t require owner anonymity, allowing you to keep your personal details private. This can potentially be a valuable step to take to help protect your own privacy. So, be sure to discuss it with an advisor when forming your business to see if this might be a practical option for your brand.
