The Double-LLC Method: How to Legally Create an Anonymous, Private Business Structure

In this presentation, attorney and CPA Chad D. Cummings explains the Double-LLC Method—a sophisticated legal structure for anonymous LLC ownership designed to preserve privacy and protect assets by layering two limited liability companies. You will learn how the arrangement works, why it is lawful, and how it allows business owners to keep their personal names off state business filings while maintaining full compliance with federal transparency rules. The presentation covers step-by-step formation strategy, including how one LLC can lawfully manage another, how to select the right states for registration, and how to maintain separate records and governance to prevent veil-piercing. It also explores the benefits—privacy, discretion, liability isolation, and asset segregation—alongside the real-world limitations, such as FinCEN reporting and due diligence requirements. This is essential viewing for entrepreneurs, investors, professionals, and anyone concerned about personal exposure in public business databases. Learn how attorneys structure legitimate privacy through layered entities, how to stay compliant with the Corporate Transparency Act, and how to avoid the common mistakes that turn privacy planning into legal risk.
