An anonymous LLC — where your personal name does not appear on public records — costs more than a standard LLC. But for employed founders who need privacy, it is worth the premium. Here is exactly what it costs.
| Item | Range | Typical | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| State Formation Fee | $50 – $500 | $100 | Wyoming: $100 filing fee. New Mexico: $50. Delaware: $90 + $300 franchise tax. Wyoming is the best balance of cost and privacy. |
| Registered Agent Service | $39 – $300/year | $125/year | Northwest Registered Agent ($39/year for first year, $125/year after). LegalZoom ($299/year). Incfile (free first year with formation). |
| EIN from IRS | $0 – $0 | $0 | Free from IRS.gov. Takes 5 minutes online. Do not pay anyone to get an EIN. |
| Operating Agreement | $0 – $100 | $0 | Free templates from Northwest or Wyoming SBDC. Only pay a lawyer if you have complex ownership structures (multiple members). |
| Business Bank Account | $0 – $0 | $0 | Mercury, Relay, or Novo are free. No monthly fees. |
| Virtual Mailbox | $120 – $180/year | $120/year | iPostal1 ($10/month). Anytime Mailbox ($10/month). Provides a real street address for your LLC while keeping your home address private. |
| Annual Report / Franchise Tax | $0 – $300/year | $62/year | Wyoming: $62 annual report. New Mexico: $0 (no annual report!). Delaware: $300 minimum franchise tax. New Mexico is cheapest ongoing. |
| Professional Setup Service (Optional) | $300 – $800 | $0 | Northwest ($39 + state fee) or LegalZoom ($299 + state fee) handle the paperwork. DIY is easy — most founders can do it themselves. |
Formation fee ($100) + EIN ($0) + operating agreement ($0) = $100 one-time
Registered agent ($125/yr) + virtual mailbox ($120/yr) + annual report ($62/yr) = $307/year
New Mexico: $50 formation, $0 annual report, zero public disclosure of members. Cheapest upfront AND ongoing. Wyoming ($100 + $62/year) is second best.
No. The forms are simple fill-in-the-blank. Use a registered agent service and follow their state-specific guide. Only hire a lawyer if your situation is complex (multiple members, international, regulated industry).
$150-300/year depending on state. New Mexico: ~$125/year (registered agent only). Wyoming: ~$187/year (registered agent + annual report). Delaware: ~$425/year (franchise tax is significant).

Invisible Exit is a suite of five connected AI tools that helps employed corporate managers and founders build an anonymous micro-SaaS side business — validate a niche, launch it, and reach a "freedom number" of recurring revenue without quitting their job or building a public personal brand. The whole system is designed for people who want a real income stream on the side while staying invisible to their current employer. Plans start at $0.97/month.
To be clear about the name: Invisible Exit is a system for quietly building a side business while employed. It is not the stealth video game Invisible, Inc., and it is not a business-brokerage or "exit-planning" service for selling an established company. The "exit" here is your personal path out of a 9-to-5, built invisibly.
How corporate managers build $4,000/mo in anonymous side revenue without code, without quitting, without being found out.

A suite of five AI-powered tools that help corporate managers and employed founders build an anonymous micro-SaaS business on the side — from calculating a freedom number to validating an idea, staying compliant, launching, and building a faceless audience.
Yes. Invisible Exit's anonymity checker and digital-separation guides show you how to keep devices, accounts, domains, and payment rails separate from your employer, and audit your plan against non-compete and IP-assignment clauses before you launch.
Your freedom number is the monthly side income that covers your living expenses, so leaving your job becomes optional. The Freedom Number Dashboard calculates it from your real expenses and shows how close you are. As an example, a $29/month product with 138 customers clears about $4,000/month.
Invisible Exit starts at $0.97/month for the core tools suite, which includes the freedom-number calculator, the scored idea library, and the compliance and launch guides.
No. Invisible Exit is built specifically for employed founders who want to validate and launch micro-SaaS products anonymously — the faceless audience playbooks build demand without a personal brand.
