How To Set Up an Anonymous Company (Hide the Real Owner)

In this video, I describe methods to create an anonymous company, one that isn't tied to your name. For decades, all you had to do was use a nominee shareholder, but that doesn't work anymore. Banks and governments want to know who's really behind the company, also known as the Ultimate Beneficial Owner.

And if you're thinking of using a cheap offshore company—good luck. Banks don’t want to touch anything tied to banana republics, making it a nightmare to move money.

In a few minutes, I break down the most practical ways to structure an anonymous company, covering silent partnerships, circular ownership, minority shareholding, and trusts. I’ll also rank these techniques based on how effective they really are.
